Being a US Citizen living outside the USA I get alot of interesting and sometimes StRAngE questions/comments on the USA from people in other countries. Thought I'd share some of them with you.

Why I drink...

The "Buffalo Theory" of drinking

It's like this...

A herd of buffalo can only move 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, 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.

That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers!

Cheers!!!

kEEp oN tRucKiN...

Credit to Siren for this one...




I've apparently visited 13% of the world. I hadn't realized that, but I've only lived in 3 of them - USA, Germany, and Thailand. The rest was all work or fun (mostly work).

And also thanks to Siren ...




I've visited 54% of the United States. Many of those for extended periods since my father was military.
