John, a city slicker from Boston, bought a pumpkin patch.

He thought that he could make more money from chickens than the previous owner made from pumpkins, so he went to a poultry farm and bought 50 chickens.

'50 is a lot of chickens for that little pumpkin patch,' said the proprietor.

'I am used to big business' John replied.'

A week later John was back at the farm. 'I need another 50 chickens,' he said.

'Boy, you are serious about this chicken farming,' the poultry farmer told him.

'Oh yes,' John replied. 'It' will be OK if I can just iron out a few problems.'

'Problems?', asked the farmer.

'Yeah,' replied John, 'I think I planted that first batch too close together.'
