In my opinion, yes. If not, I have to re-order my business cards. The value of the order is that the laughter disarms you, lowering your “I refuse to go back to school” defenses long enough for me to sneak some teaching points in. Later, you’ll think about it and you might resent me for it, so then it’s Laugh, Learn, Think and Resent. But I’m counting on the power of 3s to make you Laugh, Learn and Think.

Whoa, whoa, whoa … let’s not get carried away. Pizza holds a high slice of honor in my belly and I can’t imagine anything topping it. Except for speaking. I do love speaking more than pizza (I have never uttered these words before, this is very therapeutic...thank you for asking about this).

• Spending time with you gives me energy, pizza makes me sleepy.
• Spending time with you makes me smile, pizza makes me wear stretchy pants.
• Spending time with you means I get to meet cool new people, pizza is predictable.

So, I like speaking more than pizza because of the energy, smiles and meeting cool new people like you.

Yes, yes I can. Unless you mean boring in the sense of digging a tunnel, then I can contribute little more than a garden rake and hand shovel and that would take too long.

But if you're in the trenches of dull events, I will bring my rake and shovel and excavate you. Please have your foreman email me to save you from the rubble of despair.

There have been people in your boots, who have called me in to combat the boring (again, not the tunneling type of boring) and here’s what they say.
