A man sitting on his porch watched as his neighbor walked along the sidewalk carrying a ton of chicken wire.

"Where are you going with all that chicken wire?" he yelled from the porch. "I'm going to catch me some chickens!" the neighbor replied. "You can't catch chickens with chicken wire, you idiot!" the man yelled back from his porch. A short while later, the man stared in disbelief as his neighbor walked back by him, 10 chickens following.

The next day, the man was sitting on his porch again and watched as his neighbor walked along the sidewalk carrying a ton of duct (duck) tape.

"Where are you going with all that duct tape?" he yelled from the porch. "I'm going to catch me some ducks!" the neighbor replied. "You can't catch chickens with chicken wire, you idiot!" the man yelled back from his porch. A short while later, the man stared in disbelief as his neighbor walked back by him, 10 ducks following.

On the third day, the man sat on his porch again and watched as his neighbor walked along the sidewalk carrying a ton of what appeared to be branches.

The man yelled from his porch, "Say, neighbor, what do you have there?" The neighbor replied, "pussy willow!"

The man ran for his hat and yelled, "I'm coming with you!"
