Old man is sitting on his porch, see's a little kid coming down the road carrying some chickenwire.
Man "what's up sonny?"
Boy "Gonna get some chickens."
Man (to himself) "yea right"
A little while later, the kid walks by hauling about 50 chickens. The old man just shakes his head.
Next day the kid comes down the road with some duct tape.
Man "What's up sonny?"
Boy "gonna get some ducks"
Man (to himself) "yea, sure you are".
A little while later the kid comes back hauling about 100 ducks behind him. Old man just shakes his head.
Next day kid comes down the road carrying a bunch of sticks.
Man "What ya got there sonny?"
Boy "Pussy willows."
Man "Hang on a second sonny, let me grab my hat!"

Man seemed to learn a lesson real quick.
