My grandpa had a handful of stories that he told over and over again. Yes, it got a little hard to laugh and react at the correct parts after 20 listens. But I must say that I would absolutely love the chance to travel back in time and hear him spin one of his yarns again.
Every time I visited him, even if it was the third time that week, he would break out a small flashlight he replaced the incandescent bulb with a (very dim) led, tell me about how LEDs work, and demonstrate the fact that it won’t work in reverse…
Practice, practice, practice. The best stories have been told 100x and the presenter adjusts each new telling to fit the audience.
I know this and still tell stories like the second pane, haha
I had a coworker like that, thank god he retired early.
It’s important that those 100x are to different people.
Your coworker sound like my grandpa.
