The retirement toasts generally follow the retirement speech and is intended to be something humorous to release the tension and put the speaker at ease. The retirement speeches can be something humorous so as to lighten the otherwise emotionally overwhelming mood and ambience. The heart-felt retirement toast about the retiree's career and achievements always comes as a source of refreshment after every one has enjoyed the merriments and when the gift ceremony is over. Though the retirement speech can include humorous statements but the toasts should be more emotional and should end on a positive note though leading to a few tear drops but the retiree will cherish the moment of the retirement toast for times to come.
