Duck Tape
An old farmer was sitting on his front porch one hot summer
day,
when this kid comes walking down the road carrying a bundle of
wire.
"Hey kid!" the farmer says. "Where ya goin' with
that wire?"
"Well," the kid drawls, "this here ain't just any
ol' wire, this
here's
chicken wire -- I'm fixin' to catch me some chickens!"
"You can't catch chickens with chicken wire!"
"Sure I can!" he yells and takes off down the road. He
comes back
at the end of the day and, sure enough, he's got a whole mess
of chickens caught in his chicken wire.
Well, the farmer's sitting on his porch the next day, and the
same kid comes walking down the lane, carrying a big roll of
tape.
"Hey kid!" the farmer yells. "Where ya goin' with
that tape?"
"Well this here ain't just any ol' tape, this here's duck
tape
-- I'm fixin' to catch me some ducks!"
"You can't catch ducks with duck tape!"
"Sure I can!" The kid yells, and takes off down the
road. He
comes back at the end of the day and again, the farmer can't
believe
his eyes. The kid had a whole bunch of ducks wrapped up tightly
in his tape.
The next day the farmer's sitting on his porch again, and the
kid comes walking down the road carrying some flowers.
"Hey kid!" the farmer says. "Where ya goin' with
them flowers?"
"Well this here ain't just any old flowers, this here's
pussy
willow."
"Hang on," the farmer says, "I'll get my
hat."
