Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | The Accidental VIP

Welcome to Qurator's Mischievous Mondays!

This will be a weekly competition that we will be hosting every Monday. We want to see a little more engagement and fun when it comes to some of our competitions so this will be a simpler and shorter competition. Easy to enter, but maybe not so easy to win. ;) This competition will be similar to the Monday Missions we had a long time ago, but instead of writing posts to enter we will now consider only the comments and answers on this blog as your entry to win.

Why Mischievous?

We all could use a little fun in our lives. We would even say that we deserve it, let loose a little and have a go at making everyone laugh or think a little, even if it is a little over the top or pure silliness. Go all out and let your creative juices flow.

The Accidental VIP

Everyone thinks you’re the guest of honor. Give your opening speech.?

Thank you for the upvote

Everyone thinks you’re the guest of honor. I will give my opening speech with this one.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, young children, servers, drivers and maids. I would like to express my upmost gratitude for having the privilege to stand in front all of you. As you all know this is a wonderful celebration, we have tonight and this speech is not enough to describe all the positive things I want to say in this event that is why I do not want to waste any more time and introduce the main speaker tonight"

If everyone thinks I am a guest of honor I would start my opening speech by acknowledging the presence of the board of directors without mentioning any names because I do not know any of them. Followed by stating random proverbs like 'Time is Gold' and 'Strike while the iron is hot' and expand on it and after a minute has passed I will slowly shift the focus of my speech to praise the foods, drinks and the venue before I close the speech saying 'Enjoy the night'

Initially I am shocked because I get called on stage.

I take a moment to take in what is happening. Then all of a sudden everyone in the room erupts into applause. I feel everyone is staring at me, waiting for me to say something. I decide to ease the tension by saying "This is such an awesome event and we need an awesome host! Let’s give a big round of applause to our awesome host!" The audience are happy to join in and clap. Then I say "We also need to give a round of applause for our amazing sponsors who paid for us to be here!"

In that instance I realised I was at a crossroads. I could either play along and pretend to be someone else or be genuine.

The room goes silent again. I look into the audience and smile. "Honestly, the host and sponsors wanted to play a joke on you. I have been brought up here pretending to be the keynote speaker when actually the real speaker will be coming up shortly. Let’s give a warm round of applause for our real speaker!"

"Good evening, everyone!

As you all know, I'm Kelvin, your top sales rep of the year! It’s a huge honor to stand up here tonight. Now, everyone keeps asking me, 'Kelvin, what’s your secret? How do you close all these deals?'

Well, I’m gonna be totally honest with you... it’s all thanks to one person. The absolute hero of this company, the mastermind behind the scenes... Dave from the marketing team!

(points aggressively into the crowd at the real Kelvin)

I want everyone in this room to give Dave your full cooperation, your undivided support, and frankly, a raise! With the kind of magic Dave pulls off, I'm fully expecting him to be our next top performer.

So let’s hear it for Dave! Enjoy the winnings, enjoy the free food, and let's keep making this company money! Woohoo!"

The management got me mixed up with Kelvin despite I'm trying to explain to the backstage. So, I used the opportunity to hype myself up. No I didn't become the top performer following year, as I have a strict code of conduct in corporate world, to maintain mildly underperformed, so I can continue to get away from extra responsibility 😝 I have been the goofy marketing guy of the century, otherwise I wouldn't have played along.
