At a downtown mission one evening the
minister was preaching a sermon on the evils of drinking. To illustrate
the point he put two glasses on the pulpit.
The first glass he filled
with water, the second glass he filled with a very good bourbon whiskey.
The he dropped a healthy earthworm into the glass of water.
Immediately the worm started to swim around. The he took the worm and dropped it into the glass of whiskey.
Immediately the worm shriveled up and died.
The minister asked the congregation of drifters, "What does this prove to you?"
Immediately an old drunk enthusiastically raised his hand and said, "Preacher, if you drink good whiskey, you won't get worms!"
