Beer makes you smarter (As explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers.)

[yonif]

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. 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. 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. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we 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."

Beer makes you smarter.
It made Bud wiser!

[jriemer]

The ancient Egyptians used to worship beer as a god...

[NormsRevenge]

Be with ya soon as I get back from the fridge.

Well, Hop to it! :-)

Do you think there is a grain of truth to any of this?

[Nonstatist]

Don't know. Pass the beer nuts.

[theDentist]

That's why the ex- and I split up. The more beer I drank, the less she understood my brilliance.

[ibbryn]

Odd. So your drinking actually made her stupider?

Anyone ever seen the WKRP where alcohol improved Johnny's reflexes?

Had to be one of the top 10 funniest moments on TV. That, and the great Turkey Bombing.

That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

I think I over did it a bit. All my slow brain cells are dead and I'm still sloshin' 'em down with both hands. :-(

[martin_fierro]

Make that "SMART People"! <|:)~

[adaven]

Do you think there is a grain of truth to any of this?

Just barley.

[martin_fierro]

Fuzzy the Squirrel finished his beers, belched, then shared his Grand Unified Theory with me.

[Bluegrass Federalist]

Beer Is Good.

[ASA Vet]

I can truthfully blame it all on Singha.

[an amused spectator]

Geez, is there an echo in here? echo in here?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I'll have a Singha and a bowl of Moo Rard Nah !
