The Lesson
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 won't
get worms."
