There's this scientist who was trying to find an original hypothesis with which he could complete his dissertation. His area of interest was the frog. After watching the frog he had selected for his project for several days, noting his habits eating, junping and sleeping, he felt he had determined an ideal experiment. The scientist would keep track of how far the frog could jump. So he tracked the frog for two weeks commanding the frog to "Jump frog, jump" noting the results in his notebook. Then the scientist wondered "How far would a three legged frog jump?" He severed a leg, and ordered the frog to "Jump frog, jump" and noted that the frog definitely did not have the same distance as he had had with four legs. "Hmmm," he said. "wonder what would happen if I cut off another leg?" So he did and again he observed that whenever he ordered the frog to jump, once again, it never jumped as far as it previously had jumped. So, of course, he needed to know what would happen if he cut another leg off, leaving the frog with only one leg. "Jump, frog, jump." The frog was still able to jump but the scientist was beginning to detect a pattern. Again, the distance was shorter than one the frog had two legs. "This is interesting," the scientist thought to himself. "I do have one more question, though. How far could that frog jump if he had no legs?" The scientist followed through and amputated the last leg. "Jump, frog, jump" Nothing happened. "JUmp frog, jump" Again, nothing happened. The scientist tried one more time, yelling as loud as he could."Jump frog, jump. Jump frog jump." The frog just sat there not moving. One more time, "Jump frog, jump." Again no jump. Alas, the scientist picked up his clipboard and noted "Frog with no legs goes deaf!!"
That took me so long to type, I hope I didn't leave anything out.
