Now, let’s talkabout humor.
![Page 186: International Speech Contest A Contestant's View of the Mike Futty, ACB BAC to the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5518d70d550346991f8b5f80/html5/thumbnails/186.jpg)

The point is not to get rattled if you don’t get the laughs
you got before.
