A Chemistry Experiment
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, closely observe the worms," said the
professor while putting a worm into the water.
The worm in the water writhed about, happy as a
worm in water could be. He then put the second worm
into the whiskey. It curled up and writhed about
painfully, then quickly sank to the bottom, dead as a
doornail.
"Now, what lesson can we learn from this experiment?"
the professor asked.
A little boy raised his hand and responded confidently,
"Drink whiskey and you won't get worms."
