EULOGY -example- Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he wasn't the crusty old man some thought, but was considered a positive “roll” model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was set at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

These presentations are lighter in tone; they maintain a lighthearted manner These presentations are primarily chosen for their entertainment value and the supporting material is meant to add to the entertainment These presentations are carefully prepared before presented These presentations consist of humor; humor is most likely present

SPECIAL OCCASION SPEAKING Toast - These are brief speeches to honor someone or some event.
