MARCO Grand Rounds for January 19, 2014

From Warren, KD4GUA:

This Sunday, by request. we will discuss "MARIJUANA".  it's an interesting subject since it is in the news every day and few of us know what it's all about, that is, the good boys (?) who have never tried it!.
    Ian K3IK is back in the ring and he's livened up a lot of dull sessions lately with his intriguing remarks---he's worth listening to ever since I tried to tell him to "Never miss a chance to shut up!"   We've had some interesting weather reports lately, hard to believe you guys are a little cool since I just came in from swimming .

Jerry, N4TSC, added some comments regarding intoxicants:

I suspect that the same arguments regarding beer can be applied to Marijuana, therefore in the interest of full disclosure and in preparation for Warren's talk next Sunday, I would like to recall the comments of Cliff Clavin in a discussion with Norm Peterson regarding the value of beer.
 
One night at Cheers ... Cliff Clavin commented to his buddy ... Norm Peterson:
 
"Well ... ya see ... Norm ... it's like this ... 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 group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members! ... In much the same way ... the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol ... as we know ... kills brain cells. But naturally ... it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way ... regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells ... making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel
smarter after a few beers.''
