Worms & Whiskey

A professor of chemistry wanted
to teach his 5th grade class a
lesson about the evils of liquor,
so he produced an experiment that
involved a glass of water, a glass
of whiskey, 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 whiskey.
It curled up and writhed about painfully,
then quickly sank to the bottom, dead as
a doornail.

"Now, what lesson can welearn from this
experiment?" the professor asked.

Johnny, who naturally sits in back,
raised his hand and wisely, responded
confidently, "Drink whiskey and you won't
get worms."
