[Vision2020] back to the Buffalo

[Dan Carscallen]

The 'Buffalo Theory' has never been explained so well as it was by Cliff
Claven to his friend Norm, who most of us know as two of the central
characters on Cheers. 

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." 

and there you have it.
