Who decides what is fashionable and what is not?
How come it always rains when it's holiday time?
How come so many people are described as "average"?
3. Rhetorical questions - silly & serious
If it fits your speech you could also experiment with storytelling setups based on rhetorical questions. As well as the straight or serious, try some obviously ridiculous ones to grab your audience's attention.
Examples of both are:
How many years have you been 40?
Is it true that diamonds are a girls best friend?
Do you remember when the sky was always blue and summer was endless?
Why is it that whenever you're late, you can never find a car park?
Why should we care about others?
