"I'm sorry there wasn't a programming guest who could run it this year."
Gee, maybe when you don't invite half the usual guests - including all the "Shot" regulars -- and don't tell them till the last minute that they're not on the programming...then you DON'T have a guest who could run it. FUnny how self-fulfilling some prophecies can be, isn't it?
And it was a real treat being confronted by Programming -- accompanied by 3-4 big guys with headsets just in case we made trouble? -- talking to me like I was a stupid kid or a naughty wittle girl. Always good to treat your regulars (and a former Toastmistress) that way. Very memorable.
