A dumb scientist is experimenting on a fly

He pulls one leg off and says ‘Fly, walk’. The fly walks.

He pulls the second leg off and says ‘Fly, walk’. Again, the fly walks.

He continues until he gets to the last leg. Pulling it off, he says ‘Fly, walk’.

The fly does not walk. He repeats the command, but the fly does not shift a millimetre.

He scribbles down ‘After removal of the 6th leg, the fly has become deaf’
