Subject: beer & brain cells

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 is maintained or even improved
by the regular culling of the weakest members. In much the same way,
the human brain can operate only as fast as the slowest brain cells
through which the electrical signals pass.
Recent epidemiological studies have shown that while excessive intake
of alcohol kills off brain cells, it attacks the slowest and weakest
brain cells first. Thus, regular consumption of beer helps eliminate
the weaker cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more
efficient machine.
The result of this in-depth study verifies and validates the causal
link between all-weekend parties and job related performance. It
also explains why, after a few short years of leaving university and
getting married, most professionals cannot keep up with the
performance of the new graduates. Only those few that stick to the
strict regimen of voracious alcoholic consumption can maintain the
intellectual levels that they achieved during their university years.
So, this is a call to arms. As our country is losing its
technological edge we should not shudder in our homes. Get back into
the bars! Quaff that pint! Your company and country need you to be at
your peak, and you shouldn't deny yourself the career that you could
have.
