It was really quite odd. Someone else actually made the toast/speech on behalf of my table. For some reason not very clear to me, the emcee kinda ignored his speech and asked for ANOTHER toast from someone else at the table. Whereupon everyone else just pointed at me. In fact, the first thing I said when I stood up was, "I thought [the other guy] already made the toast!".
And yes you are right. I am not usually the comedian.
Anyway, here's my proof that I won the "Best Toast" award! Click for image:

I'm gonna spend the vouchers but keep the envelope as my LOA souvenir.
It's really amazing how quickly the LOA can work. On Day 9, when I manifested the intention to be a very good speaker, I had NO idea at all when would be the next occasion I would be required to give a speech. Yet by Day 12, the LOA not only brought the occasion, but gave me the chance to win a prize for speaking well.
Cute!
