An old man is sitting on his front porch watching the sunrise. He sees a neighbor kid walk by carrying a spool of something metallic under his arm. "Hey, boy! Whatcha got there?" "Chicken wire." Whatcha gonna do with that?" "Gonna catch some chickens." "You damn fool! You can't catch no chickens with chicken wire!" says the old man. The boy just laughs and walks on by.
That evening at sunset, the boy walks by the old man's house, dragging behind him 30 chickens caught in the chicken wire.
The next morning the old man sees the boy walk by carrying a shiny roll of something. "Hey, boy! Whatcha got there?" "Duct tape." Whatcha gonna do with that?" "Gonna catch some ducks." "You damn fool! You can't catch no ducks with duck tape!" says the old man. The boy just laughs and keeps walking.
That evening at sunset the boy walks by, trailing behind him 30 ducks caught in a long trail of duct tape.
The next morning the old man sees the boy walk by carrying a branch with him. "Hey, boy! Whatcha got there?" "It's a pussy willow."
"Wait up!" says the old man. "I'll go get my hat!"
