One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the
Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.  Here's how it went:

"Well ya see, Normie, 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."
