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, 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.
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 a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few
beers.'
I should be smartest guy on the planet, at least when I was in my 20's. How come I'm not.
