He put one worm in a glass of water and another worm in a glass of whiskey.The worm in the water lived,while the one in the whiskey curled up and died.

“All right,son,”asked the father,“What does that show you?”

“Well,Dad,it shows that if you drink alcohol,you will not have worms.”

中国人讲:

一位父亲打算让自己的儿子知道酒精有多么可怕。

他分别把两只虫子放到一杯清水和一杯威士忌里进行对比。清水里虫子安然无恙,而在威士忌里的虫子蜷缩了几下就死掉了。

父亲问道:“好了,儿子啊,你得出了什么结论?”

“嗯,爸爸,这说明,你只要喝酒的话,肚里就不会长虫了!”
