When you are the Ah-Counter
20:46
Ah-Counter 's Rule：
Toastmaster of the Day, dear Fellow Members & Most Welcome Guests：
I'm pleased to be the Ah-Counter of today's meeting. My job is help you cure your bad habit of making “vocalized pauses”. They are sounds like “ah”, “er” and “em”, or words like “well”, “and”, “but”, “so” and “you know”...etc. These unnecessary annoying sounds and words are the so-called “Ahs”.

I'll count the number of the “Ahs” I hear you make. At the end of the meeting, I will make a report for you.
Toastmaster of the meeting!
General Evaluator, Ladies & Gentlemen：
This is the Ah-Counter's report：
Speaker's Name ….. had 4 “ahs”
Speaker's Name ….. had 2 “ahs”
-etc-
Remark: To make the meeting more interesting, you can set your own rules and make it reasonable, funny. For example, forget to shake hands, forget other member's name, mix up the usage of He & She, speak overtime, do not acknowledge the session master, do not call “toastmaster” in front of the name, etc.
