An old man in Alabama 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," the boy replies.
"What you gonna do with that?" asks the old man.
"Gonna catch some chickens," says the boy.
"You darn 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," comes the response.
"What you gonna do with that?" the old man wants to know.
"Gonna catch me some ducks," the boy answers.
"You darn 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," the boy tells him.
"Wait up," the old man says, "I'll get my hat."
