</font><font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size="4">"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</font> <font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size="4">slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.</font> <font color="#0000ff" size="4">
</font><font size="4">
</font><font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size="4">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.</font> <font color="#0000ff" size="4">
</font><font size="4">
</font><font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size="4">In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.</font> <font color="#0000ff" size="4">
</font><font size="4">
</font><font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size="4">Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.</font> <font color="#0000ff" size="4">
</font><font size="4">
</font><font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size="4">In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.</font> <font color="#0000ff" size="4">
</font><font size="4">
</font><font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size="4">And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."</font> </div>
