An old man is sitting on his porch one morning. He notices a small boy walking along. "Whatcha got there boy?" the old man asks.

"Chicken wire, so I can catch me some chickens" replies the lad.

"Boy, you ain't gonna catch no chickens." Later that afternoon here comes the boy with about 30 chickens wrapped up in the chicken wire.

The next morning the old man is sitting there and here comes the boy again. "Whatcha got there boy?" the old man asks.

"Duck tape, so I can catch me some ducks" replies the boy once more.

"Boy, you ain't going to catch no ducks." Again, here comes the boy with about 30 ducks later that day. The old man is impressed but still hesitant.

The next morning here comes the boy again. "Whatcha got there boy?" the old man asks.

"Pussy willows" replies the boy.

The old man thinks for a second and says "Hold on boy, let me get my hat."
