instant Humour

(In one episode of ‘Cheers’, Cliff is seated in the bar describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy, Norm. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the concept explained any better than this…)

“Well you see, Norm, its like this… A heard of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, its the slowest and the weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This Natural selection is good for the heard 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 Humann brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol 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 faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
