Quantum physics, string theory, stuff like lasers and ball bearings–these are just a few things that I like to pretend I understand. Usually I just invoke the names of Stephen Hawking or Dr. Emmett Brown. If my audience is really smart I’ll make a reference to “e”, the loneliest of all the irrational numbers. I had to read a lot of books to pretend to know so much, only to find out from Rooster that I was wasting my time. If you really want to confuse someone, try this line.
Rooster the Non-profit Executive
Rooster and I formerly served as officers for our rugby club. It is rare that people who hold these positions are asked to speak on topics other than club members who have not yet paid their membership dues, and most relish these opportunities. In his own eloquent way, Rooster makes sure his feelings about public speaking are well known.
