 | Durwood Fincher -- Georgia USA, 10.0k to 15.0k
He's been called "Mr. Doubletalk" by Candid Camera's Allen Funt. Corporate executives have called him "the great impostor" and "the perfect icebreaker." Whatever you call him, you'll agree that Durwood Fincher is like no other speaker in America today! Usually introduced as Dr. Robert Payne, a highly-touted government "expert" straight from Washington, Fincher begins his speech with a delicious diatribe filled with bureaucratic rhetoric and platitudes. "Oh, no!" the audience thinks to itself as the sentences grow longer and the words become more obscure. Soon everyone is squirming and frowning as "words" begin to appear that really aren't words at all. Suddenly someone realizes what's happening and snickers. Then others catch on and begin to chuckle. Finally, a wave of realization passes over the audience and frowns turn into laughter as everyone becomes aware that he or she has been had.
