Oh dear. I dun a woopsie...
I was doing a software pitch to a room full of around 20 senior execs from Legal and General. It was in their conference suite, and there was a sliding partition wall between us and the next room, where I could hear a computerised voice which was putting me off my stride. Sounded like they were playing around with some voice software. It put me off a bit mid-sentence and I said, "sorry, I'm getting distracted, sounds like we've got a Dalek next door hahaha"
Long stony silence...
"Actually that is our Chairman, he has had throat cancer and uses a voice box"
We didn't win the contract.

I think that's pretty harsh of them - you weren't to know, and it's pretty unusual
You should have laughed and impersonated him.
