When I was 15 I had to give a presentation about the Algonquin Indians. I hated talking in front of the class and I was paralyzed with anxiety. Then I remembered that the key to overcoming a fear of public speaking, according to television, is to imagine the audience naked. When it was my turn to speak I stood in front of my class, took a deep breath, imagined them all naked, and began my speech. It worked like a charm until I focused on Caitlyn Kelly. Fifteen years later people still call me Stands-With-Boner.
