I find peppering every few words with expletives has soothing effect on the audience and makes you seem more trustworthy.

Somehow I think this would have made it worse.

Honestly it sounds to me like you just need more practice at public speaking. Obviously more preparation might have helped too, but it sounds like you knew your shit for the first two times, and just had an embarrassing brain fart on the last one.
There's no real way to avoid "brain farts" when presenting except to present so much that they either don't happen, or that you learn to recover from them when they do.

Like I said, I'm usually fine at it, but tripping over something you're expected to test someone else on is not ideal.
Practice is definitely better. The frequency that I have to do this is pretty low.
