"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
~ Jack Handy

And saving the best for last, 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 you 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."

Good one Ivan - mind if I steal those?

I haven't had a beer in about 25 years. Now I'm worried. My memory hasn't been so sharp these past ten years. Is there a non-alcoholic way of purging my slower, weaker brain cells?

Repaint the kitchen with the windows shut and no mask. Then you can kill two birds with one stone... Obviously the hitting of the two birds with the one stone is the tricky part of this endevour but having lost some brain cells ought to help out.



My grandfather is a rather hardcore christian and has always talked down on drinking. Recently though he developed a heart problem and has been trying to find natural methods of taking care of the problem rather than continually going to the doctor and taking meds. I guess he read somewhere that drinking alcohol can help with heart problems. So one day I walked into my grandparents house and found my grandfather redfaced and tipsy with a beer in his hand. That was interesting.
