Last Minute Instructions:

Here. Wear this old leopard skin so he can’t identify you as human. Hold the sword just so. Don’t deviate from anything I’ve taught you. Go for the jugular when he raises his wings and comes at you. That will saturate his larynx and quench the fire.

Remember, if you so much as deviate by a hair’s breadth, the acetylene tank will burst prematurely, saturating your clothes with its volatile explosives. There won’t be anything left to identify.

Saturate your skin with this scent, dahling. It helps maintain the right attitude. Don’t deviate from the center of the stage…just hold your head…so…turn your shoulders and freeze until the announcer starts to identify the designer, then turn, smoothly, and walk down the aisle!

Trust in this law, my Son. Saturate your mind with its statutes. Don't deviate to the right or to the left. Then I will bless your ways and all those who see you will identify you as one of mine.

Keep it simple. Identify your three main points. Don't deviate from the subject. Don't over-saturate the audience with words.
And, most importantly of all: Say something!

  4. This is a cute way of doing it. I think there must be something very instinctual going on here, because my husband, who is not a writer, immediately did something similar when I explained about 3WW. Yours is better, though. ;-)
