The Chicken Farmer

A city slicker bought some land in the country and decided he was going to take up chicken farming. He headed out to the local poultry dealer and said, �I�m taking up farming. Give me 100 baby chickens.� The salesman crated up the chickens for him and he went on his way.

The next week the new farmer showed up at the poultry dealer again and said, �Give me 200 baby chickens.� He took his chickens and headed back to the farm. Again, a week later he was back for more. This time he said, �Hmm, give me 300 baby chickens.�

�A good supply,� the salesman commented. �You must be doing really well!�

�Nah, doing terrible,� said the man with a sigh. �I can�t figure out if I�m planting them too deep or too far apart!�
