Puritan James is about
to teach his growing-up son
a thing or two
about the evils of alcohol and drink
He places a glass of water
and a glass of whiskey side by side
on the dining table and he declares:
*"Now watch, Mike,
what happens to the worms
I will put in the glass of water
and in the glass of whiskey;
and tell me what you learn"*
And Mike watches the worms
curl up and die in the whiskey
and Mike formalises his wisdom:
*"Dad - I learn that if I drink whiskey
I will never have worms!"*
