A Professor of Medicine

---

A Professor of Medicine, a man well known for his earnest and oft-proclaimed
Temperance views, was (yet again) lecturing the medical students on the damage
that alcohol can do. To demonstrate its effect on the nervous system, he took a
worm and dropped it into a glass of gin & tonic. The worm wriggled around for a
few minutes before finally giving a few convulsive twitches and dying.

"And can we deduce anything from that?", asked the Professor with the
triumphant air implying that only obvious conclusion could be drawn.

"Yes," came a voice from the back, "if you've got worms, drink alcohol."
