Tostmaster's Table Topics: Standing Room Only
Treehugger: Now We Know Why They are Called Airbuses: "Airbus has been quietly pitching the standing-room-only option to Asian carriers, though none have agreed to it yet. Passengers in the standing section would be propped against a padded backboard, held in place with a harness, according to experts who have seen a proposal"
This week I am the Topic Master. The theme for the meeting is "Limericks". I wanted to have Table Topics be a "mock round-table" discussion on some current event. What to do?
Fortunately, the radio quiz show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" has a weekly Listener Limerick. When stealing, steal from the best:
My legs find this flight quite demanding
I'm upright through take off and landing
Please don't step on my feet
and these budget non-seats
They save space by just leaving us standing
For Table Topics, the first person will express an opinion on the proposal to put standing room only "seats" on airplanes. The subsequent people will refute or support the previous argument. Sounds fun.
