There is some great advice here, and maybe I'll add some - but I doubt it.
The touch drill during the brief works for me, and most of the people I fly with.
A very unprofessional brief I used to hear (and give, on occasion) was - 'If we have a failure after V1, you say Sh!t, I'll say F**k, we'll do what we can and crash into the softest place possible and head for the pub'. The serious brief always followed.
