Answer :

answer:That happened once – speaking to a crowd, zipper was open. Nothing hanging out, but still embarrassing. I said ‘excuse me” into the mic, turned around, fixed the problem, and moved on. Took all of 20 seconds. No one cared. I had a different embarrassing problem – I was taking some medicines that make you urinate frequently and strongly. That day I was teaching a training course – people had driven in from 50 miles away. Middle of the class, the urge struck. No choice. I smiled, said excuse me, it’s my medicine, went to pee, and then continued the class. It happens to everyone… it feels terrible to you when it happens, but the audience never remembers a thing.

Two men and two women, all carrying loaded shotguns, drove to a field where they planned to shoot as many birds as possible. The four had absolutely no desire to eat any of the birds they were planning to shoot, and they brought no dogs to retrieve any they happened to hit. Each of the four people in turn would loudly shout a one-word command, and when a bird would fly out in front of them, they would shoot to destroy it. When they were finished, the bodies of 99 birds lay mutilated in the field, as only one bird had escaped their deadly shooting skills. The two men and two women cheerfully exchanged high-fives, and congratulated each other on their excellent hour of destruction.
