The old man on the porch

The old man on the porch

A young boy was walking down the road one day and an old man was sitting on his front porch rocking back and forth in his rocking chair. The old man says, "Whatcha got there, sonny?"

The boy says, "Got me some chicken wire."

"Whatcha gonna do with that chicken wire?" asked the old man.

"Gonna catch me some chickens!" says the boy.

"You can't catch chickens with chicken wire, you dummy!" said the man. The boy just shrugs his shoulders and walks on down the street.

About a half hour later, the boy comes walking back with 3 chickens entangled in the
chicken wire. The old man was shocked and couldn't believe his eyes.

About a half hour later, the boy was again walking past the old man's porch. "Whatcha got now, sonny?"

"Got me some duct tape."

"And whatcha gonna do with that duct tape?" the old man asked.

"Gonna catch me some ducks!"

"You can't catch ducks with duct tape, you dummy!" said the old man. The boy just shrugs his shoulders and walks on down the street.

About a half hour later, back comes the boy with 3 ducks tangled in the duct tape. Again, the old man rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

About a half hour later, the boy was again passing the porch.

"Whatcha got now sonny?" asked the old man.

The boy says, "Got me some pussy willow."

The old man says, "Hold up, let me put my shoes on!"
