Unpleasant Preachers: Humorous and painful anecdotes by AP Gibbs
-
The MUMBLER: Tries to speak with his lips closed, giving the impression of having a small potato in his mouth.
-
The YELLER: Unlike the mumbler can be heard 2 blocks away. Begins, goes on, and ends with a roar.
-
The SING SONG: Consists of a chant, the voice rising and falling with calm rhythmic flow, ending as a lullaby.
-
The MONOTONE: No indication in the face, voice, or gesture, of any emotion whatsoever.
-
The VOICE DROPPER: Drops the voice at the end of sentences to a whisper.
-
The REPEATER: Repeats his sentence over and over as if his audience was deaf or mentally incompetent.
-
The THROAT CLEARER: Consists of a slight but entirely unnecessary clearing of the throat throughout the address.
-
The MEANDERER: A sermon as a series of disconnected remarks that seem to occur to him as he speaks.
