'An easy speech - when you really don't want to embarrass either yourself or your daughter by saying anything too personal. '

The Real McCoy Comments:
Let's face it! Although we all love our daughters dearly, not all of us feel happy standing up on our feet and saying soppy sentimental things about our darling daughters in public. It's just not us!

That's why this is a popular speech... 
Because it's very funny ... not at all soppy and sentimental, and it presents you - the old man! - as being rather a 'fun' guy to know. But there's another reason why this is a popular speech, which is that it's made up of a very neat combination of two short funny stories, which not only inter-link with each other very well ... but they are very easy for you to remember. This is important! Because you've no idea how difficult it is to read notes when you are nervous. With this speech you'll get away with writing only two words on your notes. And the two words are  ... 'LIONS' & 'FAMILY'. 
It's great fun!
