I was invited at the time by a very distinguished association, so anyway, the theme was 'Sports' ( a small part of what I do is promote Sports ) and I guess that whoever organized the paperwork and the flyers 'decided' that since I was giving a 'lecture' I certainly was a 'doctor' (he he he) although I have a couple of degrees ;-) I'm not a Doc.......yet ...he he he So.... When we got to the questions/ answers period, people in the audience started to call me 'Doctorah"; being a bit of a nut....I decided to let it be, temporarily. So anyway after a few questions were answered, I turned the session around and asked them this question: "People, answer meeee, Do you hate your bodyyyyyy?" They all chanted:" YEEEEEEEESSSSSS", so I said: "put your left hand up"....they all did, and then I said: " now do you want to do something about iiiiiit?" they all chanted:"YESSSSSSS" so I said:" now put your left hand down and your right hand up" AND I STARTED SAYING REALLY LOUD WHILE rotating my hands left right left right: "One two, one two, exercising is for you.... One two one two if I'm a doctor, so are you...." ;-))) It caught up so well, everyone was laughing, and they were doing the exercices in perfect harmony...the audience had a good sense of humour; it was such a spontaneous, successful, POSITIVE conclusion to the lecture/workshop. And after all, many women in the audience registered to some gyms I had recommended in Cairo. So you made me laugh from the heart!

You know I was thinking about you today and your talent for writing and obviously speaking, as this is your profession and thought what a wonderful "Call in TalkShow Host" you would make.
