As a child, after moving from England to Canada, I attended a private boys school in Montreal. Grade 7 we had to do impromptu speeches; random topic, think for a minute, speak for two minutes.
I was a shy boy, got up on the small dais at the front of the class and received my topic. Girls!
I lent back to rest on the wall as I thought about it. Only problem was that I wasn't close to the wall! Wipe Out!!!!
I got to my feet and after the mass laughter died down, I started my speech. Here it is in its entirety.
"I have two sisters. They are both girls."
After the next round of mass laughter died down, it was decided that another student (Tom Watson) would take my place
