Buddhism as prescription drugs
a: Buddhism ~
b: many prescription drugs
What: "Buddhism is like many prescription drugs. When taken in small doses, it can have some beneficial effects (e.g., reduction of anxiety, calming the mind, feeling motivated to be tolerant). To become a practicing Buddhist, one must overdose on it, however, and this is, as with most prescription drugs, hazardous to one's well being."

a: Hybrid vigor ~
b: 2 + 2 = 5
What:
"Hybrid vigor is like 2 + 2 = 5. It is as close to a free lunch as you will find in the cow-calf business. Allow me to provide another analogy. Breeding Angus to Angus is like depositing money into a checking account. What you put in is exactly what you will be able to take out. In contrast, breeding Angus to Hereford is like depositing money into a savings account. When you withdraw your money from a savings account you will take out more money than you deposited - because of the interest your money earned."
