Practice, practice, practice. The best stories have been told 100x and the presenter adjusts each new telling to fit the audience.

I know this and still tell stories like the second pane, haha

The best stories have been told 100x

I had a coworker like that, thank god he retired early.

It's important that those 100x are to different people.

Your coworker sound like my grandpa.

My grandpa had a handful of stories that he told over and over again. Yes, it got a little hard to laugh and react at the correct parts after 20 listens. But I must say that I would absolutely love the chance to travel back in time and hear him spin one of his yarns again.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago

Same.

Every time I visited him, even if it was the third time that week, he would break out a small flashlight he replaced the incandescent bulb with a (very dim) led, tell me about how LEDs work, and demonstrate the fact that it won't work in reverse...

I still have the flashlight.
