I was taking a Communications class at the local Community College one summer to get that requirement out of the way. At the end of the semester we had to give a five minute speech to the class on a topic of our choice. Public speaking with a time limit for a grade, perfect conditions for me to stutter, so I decided to do my presentation on stuttering. Since I tend not to stutter when talking about stuttering, I figured there was a slim chance that I could get through this with some fluency. If that failed, I could give a good demonstration of stuttering. Presentation day came and I get up there and get the first sentence out without a stutter, then my speech completely falls apart and I cannot get one clear word out. The speech ends and I sit back down in my seat. The guy next to me asks, "So, do you actually stutter or was that a demonstration?" Probably my most positive stuttering experience.
