Last year, I went on Martin's hypnosis show just for fun. After being hypnotized, I found myself wearing a sexy dress and many photographers were taking pictures of me. Suddenly, a strong wind blew. "Oh, my God, my skirt!" Oh, ladies and gentlemen, do you know who I was in my previous life? Yes, I was the symbol of sex, Marilyn Monroe. Sexy women like me, Marilyn Monroe, of course, were associated with men. Rumor had it that I was the mistress of President Kennedy. That was true. He came to my house every night. That's why I didn't wear anything, except Chanel 5 when I was sleeping. So here I would like to recommend all the female members to wear Chanel 5 only when you go to bed. That will make you sexier and more attractive. and your partner will love you more. However, one night, my darling Kennedy didn't show up as usual because his wife Jacqueline needed him so badlyto walk their dogs. Without Kennedy, how could I sleep through such a long, lonely night? I was so depressed that I started to drink, one bottle after another I got so drunk that I didn't notice I was drinking Chanel 5. Of course, I passed out right away. The news of me passing out shocked my fans all over the world. They couldn't wait to rescue me. Many of them were doing CPR on me; they pressed me here and there over and over and pushed me so hard. No wonder, my chest is so flat today. However, regardless of their efforts, I died. They cried so hard that their teardrops started to fill my house, and gradually drowned the whole United States. Fortunately, in my funeral, they sang a song for me, "there is a river, called the river of no return." The flood quickly formed a river and never ever returned. In memory of me, people call that river "River of No Return." After I woke up from the hypnosis, I couldn't believe I was Marilyn Monroe. So, I hurried home to ask my mom. She said that might be true. Because, when I was born, my whole body smelled like Chanel 5. And I did have blonde hair and a mole down here just like Marilyn Monroe. But a fortune teller told my mom that blonde hair would make me die young and the mole here would make me become a mistress. So, my mom dyed my hair black and had my mole moved up to here. But, there was something I still couldn't figure
out. So I went to see Martin again. In the hypnosis, I went up to heaven
and asked God "Why a pretty woman like me is still single?" He answered
me, "In order to compensate for what you suffered from your previous life,
I here promise you to be the first lady in your country. But be patient,
you will be married late." My dear Toastmasters, whoever marries me will
be the president of the ROC. So, what are you still waiting for? |
