Fellow speaker,
A good speech performance is about writing, rewriting...and praying. You see what happened there? The first two ideas set up a chain of expectations in your mind, so you think the next word will have something to do with "writing". Instead, you see the word "praying", something completely different from "writing", and there is some humor. So use the 1-2-funny approach in your next speech and get on the funny side of life!
Cracking wise,
Tim
