Reason to celebrate
I got this in an email today.
Beer theory
I came across this piece on the buffalo theory as it related to a funny article about the sitcom Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin – the
inept mail carrier and drinking buddy of Norm, was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm, and here's how it went:
"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 all 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."
