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
herd keeps improving by the regular culling of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast as
the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know,
kills off brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and
weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer
eliminates the weaker cells, constantly making the brain a faster
and more efficient machine.
The results of this in-depth epidemiological study verifies and
validates the causal link between all-weekend parties and
engineering performance. It also explains why, after a few short
years of leaving university and getting married, most engineers
cannot keep up with the performance of the new graduates. Only
those few that stick to the strict regimen of voracious alcoholic
consumption can maintain the intellectual levels that they achieved
during their university years.
So, this is a call to arms. As our country is losing its technological
edge we should not shudder in our homes. Get back into the bars!
Quaff that pint! Your company and country need you to be at your
peak, and you shouldn't deny yourself the career that you could have.
Be all that you can be.
