Model storytelling

Ladies and gentlemen, precedent dictates that I would be failing in my duty as best man if I were not to include a story involving Paul and copious amounts of alcohol. But such stories can so easily come across as juvenile and distasteful. The time that Paul failed to open the taxi-window before he was sick out of it would be a good example. And the time he did manage to open the taxi window, only to decorate the windscreen of the police car behind, would be another.

It is customary, during the best man’s speech, to tell of a law-breaking incident involving the groom. Well, Paul’s only been arrested once and it was for something he didn’t do. He didn’t get a driver's license before he started driving.
