As explained by Cliff Clavin of "Cheers"..... One afternoon
Cliff 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,
making a faster and more efficient machine. And...so, that's
why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
[Truer words were never spoken.]
