A herd of buffalo can move only 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, 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.
