I'll Get My Hat

An old man was sitting on his front porch down in
Louisiana watching the sunrise.  He sees his neighbor John walk by
carrying something big under his arm.
He yells out, "Hey, whatcha got there?"
John yells back, "Roll of chicken wire."
Old man says, "What you gonna do with that?"
John says, "Gonna catch some chickens."
Old man yells, "You damn fool, you can't catch chickens with chicken wire!"
John just laughs and keeps walking.

That evening at sunset John comes walking by and to the old man's surprise
he is dragging behind him the chicken wire with about 30 chickens caught in
it.

Same time next morning the old man is out watching the sunrise as he sees
John walk by carrying something kind of round in his hand. 
Old man yells out, "Hey John, whatcha got there?"
John yells back, "Roll of duck tape."
Old man says, "What you gonna do with that?"
John says back, "Gonna catch me some ducks."
Old man yells back, "You damn fool, it's 'duct' tape NOT 'duck' tape!"
John just laughs and keeps walking.

That night around sunset John walks by and to the old man's amazement he is
trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duct tape with about 35 ducks
caught in it.

Same time next morning the old man sees the John walking by carrying what
looks like a long reed with something fuzzy on the end.
Old man says, "Hey John, whatcha got there?"
John says, "It's a pussy willow."
Old man says, "Wait up!  I'll get my hat!!"
