This speaker looks at the human impulse to ignore the aphorism "Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today."  The intent of this speech is both Process (how-to) and Humor.  As you watch, pay attention to his fairly constant hand gestures and facsics as nonverbal message agents.  And, with that in mind, answer these three questions:
