Help with an intro to a speech?

Question

me and my 3 friends are in a contest and are speech is about 401k's and their potentail to cause an "explosion". we had to write an essay and in the essay we refer to the 401k as a time bomb just waiting to explode. we are not allowed to use any props and we must wear dress clothes and ties. We need a great intro to start our speech off with that will catch the judges attention. Any suggestions would be great. if any one would like to see the paper we could send it to you to look at. we really want to win and just need a way to start the speech.

We are only allowed five minutes

Answer 1

Dress down of of your friends (in rags or old clothes) and have the other 2 dressed in ties and jackets.
When you introduce him say something like this is a 401K for everything else theirs Retirement planning

Answer 2

I would start it along the lines of:
"Where do you see yourself in 20 years? 30 years? 40? Living comfortably off of your 401k savings or . . ." you get the idea. .

If you want to do something catchy, personally, I would do one of those mastercard priceless type of things . . .

Answer 3

You could try something along the lines of: (Slowly), "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, BANG!, This speech is about an explosion waiting to happen"........... Share the counting between you all, then all together on the "BANG". Then begin the main body of the speech as decided. Go on, I dare you.

Answer 4
