You're probably right. One summer long ago at a YMCA camp in Michigan we did an experiment. One cabin of ten boys sat outside in a circle without their shirts on and prayed to God that the mosquitos would not bite them. Another cabin of ten boys sat outside in a circle without their shirts on and didn't pray for anything, they just sang "A Hundred Bottles of Beer On The Wall."
After one hour of this we all went inside and counted our mosuito bites. What were the results? Mosquito bites all around”those little dipterans cared neither for God nor for statistics, and drinking songs made no difference either.
This is absolutely hilarious! Thanks for sharing it.
