A very bright scientist was conducting experiments on frogs

He spent a lot of time teaching them to jump as they heard the word *jump*.

And so, after he had 10 frogs that could jump when they heard the word *jump*, he took one to the experimentation room, put the frog on the table.

"*Jump*"

Sure enough, the frog jumped. The scientist wrote a note in his research booklet, then proceeded to cut a leg off the frog.

"*Jump*"

Trying an awkward jump, the frog still managed to flop as it tried to jump.

The scientist took note and proceeded to cut the second leg of the frog.

"*Jump*"

And, nothing happened. The frog didn't move.

"*Jump*"

And again, nothing.

The scientist took note, then killed the poor frog that couldn't move anymore and repeated the experiment with all 9 other frogs.

Afterwards, he decides he can discuss his findings with the higher ups:

"Well, when you cut two legs to a frog, they become deaf."
