Chicken Wire & Duct Tape

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."


"What you gonna do with that?"


"Gonna catch some chickens."


"You damn fool! You can't catch chickens with chicken wire!" 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 and he sees the boy
walk by carrying something in his hand. "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"


"Roll of duct tape."


"What you gonna do with that?"


"Gonna catch me some ducks."


"You damn fool! You can't catch ducks with duct tape!"
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?"


"It's a pussy willow."


"Wait up...I'll get my hat."
