This is like the whole if a tree falls in the forest and no ones there to hear it does it make a sound lol.

Only if it convinces the other trees that it fell

...or entertain.  I mean...  That's the other reason to speak.

The purpose of speech:

To be heard if you have something to say?
To convey a meaning of your desire
To enlighten those that are in darkness
To aggravate the Buddha loves you out of your spouse!!!!!!

After that I forgot what I was saying!

Oh yeah to help people.

Save peoples money from being over taxed.

If all else fails..just ask them to be happy and ride?

The purpose of speech is to communicate.
The purpose of the communication differs.

Wow, I miss intelligent posts like this. So, today my helmet fell off the couch. I scream "FLUCK" What am I trying to convince myself of?

Now get back in the kitchen and make me a sammich. 

The purpose of speech:

The communication between God and Adam

Biaotch make yo own sammich!
