IJMC Mr. Flip Goes to New York

                   IJMC - Mr. Flip Goes to New York

And why is Mr. Flip going to New York? I quote, "to listen to a little 
music and drink a lot of Guiness." Which leads right into the second 
potential title for tonight's post, ripped straight from the post itself, 
"the strict regimen of voracious alcoholic consumption". Mr. Flip 
understands and lives this philosophy and I'm beginning to understand why 
I've been slowing down in the last few months...how convienent there's a 
pool and drinking party this weekend...and the Fourth of July next 
weekend. Time to kick open a couple new bottles of rum...so, read on, and 
decide what you need to do...and if someone could verify that this is an 
actual Forbes article...                                            -dave

 The following is an actual excerpt from this month's Forbes Magazine: 

Just one more reason why science rocks.  A herd of buffalo can only move
as fast as the slowest buffalo, and 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 is maintained or even improved by the regular culling
of the weakest members. 

In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast as the
slowest brain cells through which the electrical signals pass. 

Recent epidemiological studies have shown that while excessive intake of
alcohol kills off brain cells, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells first. Thus, regular consumption of beer helps eliminate the weaker
cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. 

The result of this in-depth study verifies and validates the causal link
between all-weekend parties and job related performance. It also explains
why, after a few short years of leaving university and getting married,
most professionals cannot keep up with the performance of the new
graduates. Only those few that stick to the strict regimen of voracious
alcoholic consumption can maintain the intellectual levels that they
achieved during their university years. 

So, this is a call to arms. As our country is losing its technological
edge we should not shudder in our homes.  Get back into the bars.  Quaff
that pint.  Your company and country need you to be at your peak, and you
shouldn't deny yourself the career that you could have. Take life by the
bottle and be all that you can be.
