NK - FW: a call to arms

[Langston, David R]

Subject: A call to arms

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 alcohol
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. Quaff that pint. Your 
company and country need you to be at your peak, and you 
shouldn't deny yourself the career that you should 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.

What more can we do??
