I got the regular spam that my car dealer sends me, filled with forgettable quotes - comments on life ranging from Goethe to Cher - and this little tidbit
A herd of buffalo can move only 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 culling 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, 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. So that’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
Now that I think about it this explains a lot. What am I bitching about?
Oh, like my brain cells are running around in a herd…

Wait, so you mean I’m supposed to kill of the weakest and slowest first? I’ve been going about this whole thing backwards…
