An old man in Mississippi is sitting on his front porch
watching the sun rise. 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 sun rise 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.”
