A city slicker moves to the country and decides he’s going to take up farming. He heads to the local co-op and tells the man, “Give me a hundred baby chickens.”

The co-op man complies. A week later the man returns and says, “Give me two hundred baby chickens.” The co-op man complies.

Again, a week later the man returns. This time he says, “Give me five-hundred baby chickens.”

“Wow!" the co-op man replies. “You must really be doing well!”

“Naw,” said the man with a sigh. “I’m either planting them too deep or too far apart!”
