An old man (Tyrell) in Mississippi was sitting on his front Porch
watching the sunrise. He sees the neighbor's kid (Daniel) walk
by carrying something big under his arm.
He yells out "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
Dan yells back "Roll of chicken wire."
Tyrell says "What you 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 out "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
Boy yells back "Roll of duct tape."
Old man says "What you gonna do with that?"
Boy says back "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 coming home and to the old
man's amazement he is trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duck
tape with about 35 ducks caught in it.
Same time next morning the old man Tyrell sees the boy walking
By carrying what looks like a long reed with something fuzzy on the
end.
Old man says "Hey Danny boy, whatcha got there?"
Dan says "It's a pussy willow."
Old man Tyrell says "Wait up....I'll get my hat."
