I was just saying...

...as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. 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."




WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
It may also make you think you can fly...

Teehee! At least you only think you can fly when you are actually drunk.

The International Party Judges give this manuver an 8.5, a 9.1 and 7.2. The 9.1 from the Russian judge was thrown out, leaving your total party score at 15.7. Good Job!

Like it! Always knew alcohol was good for you - brain function and superhuman flight! Fab. Kat :-)

Must have had something to do with the bacardi I had for breakfast.
