The human brain starts working the moment you

are born, and never stops until the moment you

stand up to speak in public

- Sir George Jessel

According to most studies, people's number one

fear is public speaking. Number two is death.

Death is number two. Does that sound right? This

means to the average person, if you go to a

funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing

the eulogy.

Jerry Seinfeld
