Clever Kid

An old man in Mississippi is sitting on
his front porch watching the sun rise.
He sees the neighbor's kid walk by
carrying something big under his
arm. "Hey boy, whatcha got
there?" "Roll of chicken wire."
"What you gonna do with that?"

"Gonna catch some chickens."

"Y ou damn 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 sun rise and he sees the
boy walk by carrying something in his
hand. "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"

"Roll of duct tape."

"What you gonna do with that?"

"Gonna catch me some ducks."

"You damn fool! You can't catch ducks
with duct tape!"

The boy just laughs and keeps
walking.Tha t 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."

"Wai t up...I'll get my hat."
