Osama Bin Ladan was scheduled to be our fourth speaker for the evening, unfortunately, our featured guest was later found dead. Osama was voted Vice- President of Public Relations for Cave and Desert Toastmasters - Club # 666 somewhere in the Middle-East. He was scheduled to speak on how Toastmasters helped him to communicate with fellow Terrorists to perform random attacks around the world. Too bad, I was really looking forward to his Ice-Breaker Speech.....
