An old man in Mississippi is sitting on his front porch watching the sunrise. He sees the neighbour's kid walk by carrying something big under his arm. "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"

"Roll of chicken wire," replies the boy.

"What you gonna do with that?" the old man asked.

"Gonna catch some chickens," said the boy.

"You damn fool! You cain't catch chickens with chicken wire!" the old man hollers.

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?" he asks.

"Roll of duct tape," said the boy.

"What you gonna do with that?" the old man asks.

"Gonna catch me some ducks," the boy responds.

"You damn fool! You can't catch ducks with duct tape!" the old man hollers.

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?" inquires the old man.

"It's a pussy willow," says the boy.

"Wait up...I'll get my hat."
