One morning a son got up and was leaving the house with a hand full of chicken wire. His father said, "Son, where are you going?" The son replied, "I'm going to catch me some chickens." The father said, "Son, you can't catch chickens with chickenwire." But the son insisted that he knew what he was doing. Later on that day, the son came home with two chickens in his hand. The father thought, "I guess he knows what he's doing." The next morning, the son got up with some duck tape. The father said, "Son, where are you going?" The son replied, "I'm going to catch some ducks." The father yelled, "YOU CAN'T CATCH DUCKS WITH DUCK TAPE!!!" The son insisted that he knew what he was doing. Later on that day the son came home with two ducks under each arm. The father thought, "Damn, I guess he does know what he's doing!!" The next morning the son got up with a hand full of pussywillows. The father said, "Hold up, son, let me put on my shoes!"

TLC: Re: farm-animal posts. OK, I have sent an FBN-internal email to all pre-IPO shareholders. Henceforth, any postings containing farm-animal puns are outlawed on this thread. Post at your own risk. Incidentally, thanks for pointing out how responsible I am (you are legally responsible). I'll be sure to add that unsolicited comment to our 1998 FBN Marketing crap .... uh .... stuff. You wouldn't mind if I alter it just a tad bit, would you? You know ... so the text will flow better in context with the surrounding text. Something like: "In a press conference held today in New York City's wealthy financial district, SI poster Tastes-Like-Chicken announced his full backing of FBN. Their Executive officers are the most responsible group of people I've ever met, he said, enthusiastically. He also stated that he is very interested in FBN's IPO, which is rumored to have the potential of becoming the biggest 1st day money maker in the stock market's history." That's almost exactly what you said, isn't it? TED
