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. Observe closely the worms, said the professor putting a worm first into the water. The worm in the water writhed about, happy as a worm in water could be. The second worm, he put into the whiskey. It writhed painfully, and quickly sank to the bottom, dead as a doornail.



Now, what lesson can we derive from this experiment? the professor asked.



Johnny, who naturally sits in back, raised his hand and wisely, responded, Drink whiskey and you wont get worms.
