A father was trying to teach his young son the evils of alcohol. 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?"

I heard this back in the 70s on the British comedy show Dave Allen except in his version it was a preacher teaching his congregation about the evils of alcohol.

When still in grade school I built a solid reputation as Class Comedian doing little more than recycling Dave Allen jokes. That man was a wonder.

Well, I learned that apparently you can't drown in water. So it must be the temperature that gets you
