I wouldn't use it to describe a preacher... I think that there is a somewhat negative connotation b/c the Eskimo obviously does not need ice... So a preacher may take this offensively... It can be a compliment to a salesman, though, as their job is to *sell*... sometimes irregardless of need :wink:
