Was Paul Boring?

 Did you laugh at the end of today's Second Reading?  Today is the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.  The Second Reading was 1 Corinthians 1: 10-13, 17.  The last section said:

...For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with
human eloquence, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its meaning.

So Paul had no human eloquence.  And listening to him was a cross!  Listeners were suffering.  Actually, this may have been true.  Remember Eutychus?   

Eutychus he was sitting in a window listening to Paul and he fell asleep AND fell out the window.  Acts 20: 9.
