</div> <bR> <div> I        Introduction</div> <div> The opening will use humor to entice my audience.  I will joke about how often my beagle, named Bernie, urinates on furniture, dominates the bed when my wife and I sleep at night, and wakes the dead with his loud howls.  I'll note that, despite these drawbacks, we love the dog, and that proves the outstanding level of his good qualities.</div> <bR> <div> II      Main Body Points</div> <div> Beagles are ranked among most friendly dogs in the country by the American Kennel Association.</div> <div> Bernie often places his snout between stranger's legs as a show of affection.</div> <div> Beagles are always adopted quickly from animal shelters. </div> <bR> <div> The beagle is a smart animal, according to the nationally respected group called T.R.E.A.T. (The Republic of Enlightened Animal Trainers). </div> <div> We trained Bernie how to sit, lay down, give high five, play dead, give paw, roll over, catch treats off of his snout, chase squirrels, bite the cat on command, and drive an 18-wheeler across country in search of she-beagles.</div> <div> Bernie wrote the declaration of independence in a former life.  Thomas Jefferson stole it from him after sending the dog on a fox-hunt.  </div> <div> Beagles were responsible for inventing the stapler, the wing-nut, and the pancreas. </div> <bR> <div> The beagle is a wise investment, according to <I>The Wall Street Journal</I>.</div> <div> Bernie does all of our finances, and he earned us a 35% return on our investment in pooper scoopers, and dog frisbees. </div> <div> Bernie helps our toilets last longer by going to the bathroom outside. </div> <div> President Bush's first choice for the Secretary of the Treasury was a beagle.  However, the beagle declined to join the administration. </div> <div>  </div> <div> III      Conclusion</div> <div> I will close with a song medley that includes the following original compositions by P. Diddy and Barry Manilow: “Fly Like a Beagle,” “Ooops I Wet It Again,” “Smells Like Teen Beagle,” and “Shake Ya BeagleTailfeather.”</div> <bR> <div>

second "thank you" speech.</div> <bR> <div> <I>Note</I> (and this is <B>important</B>): A roast is not a rank session or, in any sense, a game of "the dozens."  Rather, a roast is defined as "a humorous tribute to a person, one in which the speaker jokingly pokes fun…the goal is still to celebrate (or pay tribute to) an individual and his or her achievements" (<U>A Pocket Guide to Public Speaking</U>, p. 172).</div> <bR> <div> <B>Process</B></div> <bR> <div> <I>Roast</I>:</div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom"
