The exercise:

Invent a pill, a shot, a remedy of some sorts for one of your pet peeves.

Mine:

Good afternoon everyone,

We have invited you all here today in order to share with you the details of an exciting new product which will be on store shelves before year end. We here at ABC Medical know this will be a huge hit with consumers.

Haven't we all wished there was something we could do about the guy ahead of us in the cashier lineup who needs to tell the checkout girl his life story? Or the coworker who drops by our desks every hour to "chat" for twenty minutes? Or the person in every five minute meeting we have ever attended who turns it into a two hour discussion?

Well, now you can, thanks to our STFU Injector(TM). Just one dose, injected in the arm, leg or back (please don't try to administer a dose in the chest... don't ask) and Mr. Blabberwocky will fall silent within seconds!

Our extensive clinical testing has found only mild side effects, including: a brief period of disorientation; nausea; headaches; and an increased likelihood of moving to the mountains of India to live in a monastery and take a vow of silence.

STFU Injectors(TM) will be in stores across the nation very soon, price point to be determined.

Now Doug will conduct a quick product demonstration. Could we get a volunteer from the audience?
