The "smartest" thing Cliff EVER said on Cheers!
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the
buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. And 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 all 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!
