about your life and career.
 
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 is Natural Selection and is good for the herd as a
whole, because the general speed and health of the whole is maintained or
even improved 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 through which the electrical signals pass.

Recent epidemiological studies have shown that while excessive intake of
alcohol kills off brain cells, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells first. Thus, regular consumption of beer helps eliminate the weaker
cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
The result of this in-depth study verifies and validates the causal link
between all weekend parties and job related performance. It also explains
why, after a few short years of leaving a university and getting married,
most professionals 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
achieve during their college years. 

So, this is a call to arms. As our country is losing its technological
edge, we must not shudder in our homes. Get back into the bars. Slug that
beer. Your company and country need you to be at your peak, and you
shouldn't deny yourself the career that you could have.  Take life by the
bottle and be all that you can be.
