The Worm Experiment

A professor of chemistry wanted to teach his 5th grade class a lesson about the evils of alcohol, 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.

Little Johnny, who naturally sits in back, raised his hand and wisely, responded...

- Drink whiskey and you won't get worms!
