     Hello, hello. I'm Gunter Jurgens. (wild applause)           Oh my, a standing ovation?! Thank you, but you may sit down. We have a full agenda today, so let's get started. We'll work from now till noon, then break for a light lunch. Afternoon workshops will be from 1 to 5 p.m., followed by a really wonderful meal of sheep and strudel. This evening, we're delighted to announce a guest appearance by the robot stars of the hit show Futurama! (excited cheering from audience)

     Now, we are handling today's workshops in a different fashion  than we usually do, so please consult your agendas and let's get started…

It will also encourage you to keep your hair neat and clean. By the way, Beth, have you had a haircut since the quarantine started?

A: No, but I did them by myself. It made a mess.
