The theme for March 20, 2018 was a hot topic: As Like Trump said "You are Fired"
11 members + 2 guests(Harry and Herrick)
It was a regular meeting turned into an extra-ordinary and educational meeting, this meeting consists of
one prepared speech by Von + 11 table topics speakers.
Our all time witty Table Topics Master Peter took out 2 decks of cards called 'Jobstacles'. Each TT speaker picked 1 card from each deck; one deck were the job titles and the other deck were the reasons why they were fired.
Each TT speaker then got a chance to plead their cases why they shouldn't be fired:
TT SPEAKERS'JOB FIRED BECAUSE OF:
Dan: School Nurse - using company time and resources to plan his wedding
Rick: Chiropractor - always spoke in rhyme
Herrick: Talk show Host - lacked confidence
Matthew: Taxidermist - thought all of the worlds problem were about women
Harry: Civil War Re-enactmentist - only has a short time to live
Melanie: Hollywood Agent - not yet convicted of murder
Seann: Divorce Lawyer - can’t be trusted with over $1000
Eileen: Uber Driver - needs her own private washroom
Cherry: Civil Rights Lawyer - gets motion sickness
Rhys: Drama Teacher - set stuffed animals on fire as a kid
Peter: Figure Skating Judge - needs to always be in the spotlight
To conclude the meeting with prepared speech evaluator Rick, TT evaluator Dan spent 6 minutes who gave each one of us a thorough evaluation and rooms for improvement; next was an intriguing Grammarian report by Eileen and a super creative Timer report by Harry. Our timer Kerri-Anne was too busy timing and didn't get a chance to pick a Jobstcles card. She deserved to be paid overtime with left-over cracker and cheese.
Lastly, the Best Table Topics speaker was Rick, no surprise!! But we each determined to set a goal to beat him, one day.
