Umm...It doesn't work as well as it used to, but when I was a wee lad at school, I would consciously focus on whenever someone said "umm" in a sentence. Worked best during class presentations or show & tell.
Without fail, within 30 seconds I'd be on the floor in fits of laughter.
Best part was that I could infect anyone I wanted to with my observation. That meant I always had several companions with me whenever we'd be sent to the principal's office for rude and disruptive behaviour.
The ultimate test of who had the biggest balls though, was in said principal's office when he'd question why we'd been sent to see him again, and all we could utter was "Umm..."

LecturerI had a lecturer who had the higest Umm rate of anyone I've ever met, occasionally exceeding 30 umms per minute.
