A recent polled shows that people's biggest fear isn't death. Death is second. Public speaking is first. So you know what means. Most people, if they're at a funeral, would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy.

For the record, I'm not afraid of public speaking. If I have to ad lib a little it's worse than if I have a full speech, but it still doesn't really bother me.
