Payment Protection Tip:

Get paid safely through our mandatory SafePay payment system.

You have two transaction options - SafePay Escrow or SafePay Invoicing. SafePay Escrow provides *more protection* than Invoicing.
Receiving payment through SafePay is the only way to build money-earned and feedback statistics, which attract future Employers.  
- More SafePay Information:  http://www.guru.com/help/pro/invoice.cfm

Because getting paid outside of SafePay is a high-risk transaction, it is a violation of our Terms of Service.

Description
------------------------------
Need writer to compose a humorous speech (30-40 minutes) on the subject of
preparedness.  I want something unexpected, taking everyday preparedness type
situations and putting a humorous cast on them.  As example of the style I am looking for, see http://www.comedywithabyte.com where everyday situations are put in a humorous light.  

I want a routine, not a series of disjointed jokes.  It can be humorous, a satire, a parody, or whatever-just write about the subject of preparedness from the point of view of an average American.  We want to make a point about the importance of preparedness, but don't need to start there.

This is for a general audience and you can include some serious discussion of preparedness.  Be creative.  Do something you wouldn't expect to hear from a preparedness expert.

Three weeks is okay for composing your material but I would want to see material  in progress regularly so at the end of the three weeks we don't find that we went west when we wee expecting to go east.
