Rationale For Drinking Beer

[pimmel]

Next time someone asks why you drink so much beer, don't just mumble and

turn away. Tell them this story.

In the days of the old west buffalo-hunters knew that a herd of bison could

only travel as fast as the slowest buffalo. They reasoned that when they

hunted the giant beasts they were actually helping the herd because they

were harvesting the slowest and the weakest of the animals, improving the

herd via a form of natural selection.

They also knew the human brain worked the same way: it can only operate as

fast as the slowest brain cells. So while sitting around the campfire

downing their Lone Stars, they knew they were killing brain cells. But they

knew they were killing only the slowest and weakest brain cells. Drinking

beer was eliminating the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and

more efficient machine.

The story also explains why you feel so much smarter after a few beers.
