#1 This brings to mind the "Buffalo Theory" from "Cheers," to wit:

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained theâBuffalo Theoryâ to his buddy, Normâ¦

âWell ya see, Norm, itâs 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 membersâ¦. 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. Thatâs why you always feel smarter after a few beers!â

#2 This reminds me of someone who commented that, "If you want to snort a whole bunch of powder cocaine, you almost have to be a vegetarian, otherwise it is just too unhealthy."

#4 Explains a lot about the trendy, oh so thin leftists in NYC and similar cities

CAESAR: Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights:
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.
Julius Caesar; William Shakespeare, Act I
