An old man is sitting on his porch...

An old man is sitting on his porch when he sees a young boy walk by carrying some chicken wire. He shouts "Hey boy where are you goin with that chicken wire?" The boy replies "I'm going to catch some chickens." The man shouts back "Boy you cannot catch chicken with chicken wire!" The boy just shrugs and says "well I'm going to try." A few hours later the old man sees the boy walking back with chickens wrapped in the wire.

The next day the man is sitting on his porch and sees the same boy walk by carrying some duct tape. The man shouts "Hey boy where are you going with that duct tape?" The boy responds "I'm going to catch some ducks." The man shouts back "Dammit boy you cannot catch ducks with duct tape!" and the boy walks off. Sure enough, a few hours later the boy returns with several ducks in tow stuck to the duct tape as the old man looks on in disbelief.

Another day goes by and yet again the boy returns. The old man shouts "what have you got today, boy?" The boy replies "I've got me some pussy-willow." The old man gets up and shouts back "wait for me while I go get my hat!"
