An old man in Mississippi is sitting on his front porch watching the
sunrise. He sees the neighbor's kid walk by carrying something big under his
arm.
"Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
"Roll of chicken wire," replies the boy.
"What you gonna do with that?" the old man asked.
"Gonna catch some chickens," said the boy.
"You damn fool! You can't catch chickens with chicken wire!" the old
man hollers.
The boy just laughs and keeps walking. That evening at sunset, the boy
comes walking by, dragging behind him the chicken wire with about 30 chickens
caught in it.
The next morning, the old man is out watching the sunrise again and he
sees the boy walk by carrying something in his hand. "Hey boy, whatcha got
there?" he asks.
"Roll of duct tape," said the boy.
"What you gonna do with that?" the old man asks.
"Gonna catch me some ducks," the boy responds.
"You damn fool! You can't catch ducks with duct tape!" the old man
hollers.
The boy just laughs and keeps walking.That night around sunset the boy
walks by trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duct tape with about 35
ducks caught in it.
The next morning, the old man sees the boy walking by carrying what
looks like a long reed with something fuzzy on the end.
"Hey boy, whatcha got there?" inquires the old man.
"It's a pussy willow," says the boy.
"Wait up...I'll get my hat."
