Mexican Jumping Beans are not really beans, they are SEED PODS that grow on a bush found only in Alamos Mexico. A tiny moth lays its eggs on the plant, and the seed grows around the tiny baby moth called a larva. The beans "jump" when the larva inside the pod moves.

I use to go to musical events in my misspent youth, but I don't hear good enough to go anymore. Don't ask me why.

I never listened to loud music, so why is my hearing shot?

(Hint: think big guns, little guns, helicopters, race cars, factory machinery, construction machimery. etc.)
