The Buffalo Theory (Perfect Logic)

I am sure some of you have already read this theory. If you have then give it one more read and have a silent laugh. If you haven’t I guess you are about to be enlightened.

In one of the episodes of ‘Cheers’, Cliff is seated at the bar describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy, Norm. This is one of the most logical explanations that I have ever seen.

“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 the weakest ones that are at the back 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 operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol 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. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

That my dear friends is the Buffalo Theory…..
