College Life

<p>I was asked to do a speech this Friday the 13th on my school’s graduation day.</p>

<p>To begin the speech off I really wanted to include an amusing friday 13th remark and comment on its irony. I’ve had some attempts…but I haven’t been satisfied with one yet. I have seriously been at it for an extremely long time…but everything just sounds too cheesy/lame. </p>

<p>Does anyone have any suggestions or is someone likewise including a friday the 13th remark in their speech? </p>

<p>I just thought it would be a good, lighthearted way to begin the speech.</p>

<p>I bet whoever goes on before you will tell one.</p>

<p>“I just thought it would be a good, lighthearted way to begin the speech.”</p>

<p>If by “good and lighthearted” you mean “cliche’d and utterly predictable,” then yeah, I totally agree.</p>

<p>ouch …</p>

<p>I just went to Google some jokes for you and this thread popped up in the results. They’re pretty quick. </p>

<p>To answer your question, maybe relate a joke to the move series; which most people are familiar with.</p>

<p>I tend to have that effect on search engines.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t do anything like that, but I guess if you really want to you could maybe say something along the lines of “Today is supposed to be an unlucky day, and I guess it is because now we have to go out into the real world and actually wake up early”.</p>
