Deaf Jam

I was on the bus a few days ago listening to my ipod when suddenly the music I was listening to changed to something I'd never heard before. It took me a few minutes to realize that the new music I was hearing was coming from the gentleman sitting next to me. He was also listening to an MP3 player with headphones.

That's astonishing! How can sound being fed directly into my ears be overpowered by sound coming from speakers plugged into another person's ears? This must mean that either I've developed superhuman hearing ... or that dude is listening to music so loud his colon is bleeding.

Please be superhuman hearing, please be superhuman hearing, please be...
