The following is an actual excerpt from this month’s Forbe’s Magazine:
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 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, wine etc., 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 cannot shudder in
our homes. Get back into the bars. Quaff that pint. 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. Forward this to all of your friends, acquaintances and
co-workers that may be in danger of losing their edge.
