An old man was sitting on his front porch down in Louisiana, watching the sunrise. He sees the neighbor's kid walk by carrying something big under his arm. He yells out, "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" The boy yells back, "Roll of chicken wire." Old man says, "Whatcha gonna do with that?" Boy says, "Gonna catch some chickens." Old man yells, "You damn fool, you can't catch chickens with chicken wire!" Boy just laughs and keeps walking. That evening at sunset the boy comes walking by and, to the old man's surprise, he is dragging behind him the chicken wire with about 30 chickens caught in it.
Same time next morning, the old man is out watching the sunrise and he sees the boy walk by carrying something kind of round in his hand.
Old man yells, "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" Boy yells back, "Roll of duck tape." Old man says, "Whatcha gonna do with that?" Boy says, "Gonna catch me some ducks." Old man yells back, "You damn fool, you can't catch ducks with duct tape!" Boy just laughs and keeps walking. That night around sunset the boy walks by the old man on his way home and, to the old man's amazement, he is trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duct tape with about 35 ducks caught in it.
Same time next morning, the old man sees the boy walking by carrying what looks like a long reed with something fuzzy on the end. Old man says, "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" Boy says, "It's a pussywillow."
Old man says, "I'll get my hat."
