One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin said to his buddy, Norm Peterson:
"Well,
ya see, Norm, it's like this.. A herd of buffalo
can only move as fast
as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted,
it is the slowest
and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural
selection is good for the herd as a whole, because
the general speed and
health of the whole group keeps improving by the
regular killing of the
weakest members! In much the same way, the
human brain can only
operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.
Excessive intake of alcohol,
as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it
attacks the slowest and
weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular
consumption of beer
eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain
a faster and more
efficient machine! That's why you always feel
smarter after a few
beers.
