My dear, your soap box isn't really co-ordinating with the rest of the furniture; in fact it's downright ugly. And while the choir is occasionally receptive to preaching, when the members start rolling their eyes and glaring at their watches, then at you, it's time to wrap up the sermon and go home. So step off the box, put the axe away, and GO.
