This ain't any ol' stick

An old man was sitting on his front porch one day when a boy walked by carrying a bundle of wire.

The old man asked "What are you going to do with all that wire boy?"

The boy looked up and gleefully said "This isn't any ol' wire, this is chicken wire and I'm gonna catch me some chickens!"

The old man laughed and said "You don't catch chickens with chicken wire silly boy."

The boy skipped off and later that afternoon sure enough the old man saw the boy skipping across the street with three chickens.

The next day the old man was back at his usual spot on his front porch and he saw the saw boy again but this time carrying a roll of tape.

"What are you going to do with that tape boy?" "This ain't any ol' tape, this is duck tape and I'm gonna catch me some ducks."

The old man laughed at the boy claiming "you don't catch ducks with duck tape."

The boy continued on and later that evening the boy returned with two ducks in his grasp.
The next day the boy was walking by carrying a large stick. The old man asked again "What are you going to do with that stick boy?" The boy replied "this ain't any ol' stick, this is pussy willow and I'm gonna...."

The old man jumped up and said "Hold on, let me get my hat!"
