ndrosenI competed in Table Topics at the area level (one step up from the club level). First, the sergeant-at-arms took me to another room while the other contestant gave a brief speech in response to the question they asked her. Then he brought me back into the first room, and the Contest Master asked me a question. My answer drew laughter, and seemed to please people, and I thought that I had won, but when the results were announced (after the Humorous Speech contest, which followed the Table Topics contest), I learned that I had come in second, and the other contestant would go on to the division contest.
Talking to someone, I heard that while I had gone for the funny bone, my competitor had gone for the heart. Well, then, congratulations to her. Another member of USPTO Toastmasters gave the sole Humorous Speech, his only rival having had a family emergency, so he will move up to the division level contest, and just might go further.
