A recent survey stated that the average person's greatest fear is having to give a speech in public. Somehow this ranked even higher than death which was third on the list.

I don't play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, "Don't go near colleges. They're so PC.". I'll give you an example: My daughter's 14.
