Day 11- Kif’s Theory
It’s official, I’m properly ill. Not even
Orlando could fight this one off. I spoke to Kif to find out how he recovered from his illness so quickly, and the response was as I feared….
Kif swears by a theory which states that alcohol kills off all the germs and bacteria, so if you drink, you get better. So then I see on the front page of the news that mouthwash (which contains alcohol) increases your risk of cancer.. i’m all confused by this existential conundrum. Do I believe the scientists, who have spent their lives studying and training to get to the forefront of their chosen field, spending millions of pounds on research, painstaking hours of testing and re-testing, accounting for anomalies and searching for trends? Or do I believe in Kif’s theory, and with….well, what he’s got. Scarily I’m starting to believe Kif, and his suggestive proof that I will get better if I drink. Or could there be a third way that nobody has considered yet? What if I drink the mouthwash?
