The Buffalo Theory...

If you're gonna learn one theory in life, this is the one...I have not seen
anyone explain this as well as Cliff Clavin, on the sitcom Cheers.

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff 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. 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."

Seen that one before but it didn't mention that it was Cliff's theory. Very good though!
