The buffalo theory of beer...

The "Buffalo Theory" of Beer...



A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. 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 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.



That's why you always feel smarter.

Sometimes we have trouble with our computers...

As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers...





I had a problem yesterday, so I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over.



Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?



He replied, 'It was an �ID ten T� error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired,



'An, �ID ten T� error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'

Eric grinned.... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?

'No,' I replied.



'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'

So I wrote down:





ID10T





I used to like Eric, the little bastard.
