Thanks for your literal elaboration on the title of this post. When I did the same literal thought experiment, I too struggled with the “get thin” bit! Olivia

Speaking “with” rather than “at” an audience is more likely to hone one’s skill at creating a “we” energy in a room… sometimes even a closeness so that attendees leave feeling more convivial with each other and even in a rare time, a feeling of numinosity that one was the right speaker at the right time with the right audience in the right frame of spirit/mind conveying the right message – so the people in the audience and the speaker felt lifted up. At his best Obama has done that.

It would seem (speaking abstractly, of course) that that ability to meld would be helpful in bed.

As well, that ability might lead to bigger booking fees (wealth). Then, even if you are on the road much of the time, tempted by fatty foods, you may have the money and will for a trainer, eventually get tired of the calorie-loaded restaurant food and eat delicious, nutritious food and get, well, thin.

At least that is a captivating possibility.
