Practice makes perfect!

Elmer's eloquence increased like an Autumn pumpkin. He went into the woods to practice. Once a small boy came up behind him, standing on a stump in a clearing, and upon being greeted with "I denounce the abominations of your lascivious and voluptuous, uh, abominations," he fled yelping, and never again was the same care-free youth.
--Sinclair Lewis, Elmer Gantry
