A professor of chemistry wanted to teach his 5th grade class a lesson about
the evils of alcohol, so he devised an experiment that involved a glass of tap
water, a glass of beer, and two worms. "Now, class, closely observe
the worms," said the professor while putting a worm into the water. The
worm in the water writhed about, happy as a worm in water could be. He then
put the second worm into the beer. It curled up and writhed about painfully,
then gently sank to the bottom, dead as a doornail. "Now, what lesson
can we learn from this experiment?" the professor asked. Johnny, who
naturally sits in back, raised his hand and wisely, responded confidently, "Drink
beer and you won't get worms." |
