Is Larry human? Adult? Is he a type of performer? Planner? Coordinator? Director? Something else? Will he never be invited back because he did such a good job that his type of services will never be needed again? Or perhaps he did a good job but his "good job" was different that what was expected? Had he been invited in the first place? Was he expecting to be invited back? |

Is Larry human? Adult? He's a HAM. Is he a type of performer? Planner? Coordinator? Director? Something else? None of these are a good fit. Will he never be invited back because he did such a good job that his type of services will never be needed again? No, but clever! Or perhaps he did a good job but his "good job" was different that what was expected? YES! This would be a very accurate statment. Had he been invited in the first place? Yes Was he expecting to be invited back? Perhaps. |

Invited to ...a party? ...a meeting? ...a sport or music event? ...an interview? ...a TV show? ...a company? ...the person who hired(?) him? ...a family? Did whoever invited Larry assume that he would do a bad job? And actually wanted Larry to a bad job but didn't tell him that? And Larry did well instead? Did Larry's performance lead to the destruction of something? Or to something not being build/produced? Or to a loss of money? Or did the inviter end up losing a partner? Did Larry's performance lead to the death of someone? To the death of Larry himself? |

So he didn't show any pictures or videos...did he discuss topics which were too intense for young listeners? Describe certain medical procedures/surgeries? Talk about certain parts of the body? Describe certain medical conditions? Did he ever display anything? If so, medical tools? Models of human organs? A skeleton? A brain? Actual human organs? A cadaver (certainly not, I hope)? |

For Elementary-aged children, combining verbal and tactile input is a really effective way to communicate/teach and keep them engaged. |

In a way, DYOD Or could it relate to males, he just happened to be using a female torso to demonstrate? But not in this way. Shez stethoscope?

Plastic surgeon of upper front torso...breast augmentation/implants? He did all kinds of surgery, but I thought you were asking about his presentation… And he brought along some silicone implants for the kiddies to hold? YEP! ****** SPOILER ****** (Drawn from real news) Larry was invited to speak at a local elementary school’s Career Day about his work as a plastic surgeon. Afterwards, parents heard from their children that Larry had brought along saline breast implants as props and passed them around for the children to handle. Quite a few of the parents were outraged and even a fairly calm parent opinioned ‘Career Day sure isn’t what it once was’. Thanks to all who played and special salute to Ixoye724 for the solve. |
