Ham on Wry

IT'S AMAZING HOW CLOSE to the truth we alcoholics can be, without getting the point. M. E. from the Bronx, New York, submitted the following: A man stood in front of a group of alcoholics and performed an experiment. He brought out two jars, one containing pure, clear water and the other 150-proof ethyl alcohol. He placed a worm in the water; the worm swam around, then was removed. He then placed the worm in the alcohol, and the worm disintegrated. He turned to the audience and asked for the moral of the experiment. A hush came over the room. After a brief pause, a man in the rear bellowed out, "If you drink alcohol, you'll never have worms."
