"You are all dying, every man, every woman and
child is dying; from the instant you are born you begin to die and
the calendar is your executioner. That, no man can change or hope
to change. It is nature's law that there is no escape from the individual
great finale on the mighty stage of life where each of you are destined
to play your farewell performance. Ponder well my words then ask
yourselves the questions: Is there a logical course to pursue? Is
there some way you can delay, perhaps for years, that final moment
before your name is written down by a bony hand in the cold diary
of death? Of course there is Ladies and Gentlemen, and that is why
I am here"
Opening pitch of T.P. Kelly, pitchman extraordinaire
