Todays wisdom for the youth here

Old guy sittin' on his porch in a rural area sees a kid walkin' by dragging something behind him. "Hey, son, what'cha got there?"

"Got me some chicken-wire!" replies the boy.

"What'cha gonna do with that?" the old man asks.

"Gonna catch me some chickens!"

Don't be a fool, boy! You cain't catch chickens with chicken wire!"

Three hours later the boy comes walking back up the road with the wire unrolled behind him. Stuggling and squawking trapped in the wire are four prime hens.

Next day the boy comes walking by the farmhouse with something clutched in his hand. The old man says "What'cha got there son?"

"Got me some duck tape!"

"It's duct tape! What'cha plannin' on doin' with it?"

"Gonna catch me some ducks!"

"Why, that's just plain dumb and stupid, child! You can't catch ducks with duct tape!"

A couple of hours later the boy comes walking back up the road. Trailing behind him is twenty feet of duct tape wrapped around three ducks, quacking up a storm.

Next day the boy comes walking by the farmhouse. The old man says "What'cha got there, boy?"

"Got me some pussy willows!"

The old man slowly stands up from his chair and says "Hang on a minute, son! Let me get my hat!"

And the moral of that story is that sometimes somthing can be learned from the youngest of us.
