That reminds me of the time a young man knocks on a farmers door to enquire about getting some cotton from a a cotton wood tree he had seen on the farmers land.
"You don't get cotton from cotton wood boy" he boomed but told the boy to go ahead.
Two weeks later the young man returns with a little decorative cotton napkin he made from the cottonwood!
He then asks the flabbergasted farmer if he can collect some honeysuckle he noticed to make some honey.
" You don't get honey from honeysuckle" he boomed but told the boy to go and help himself.
Two weeks later the young man returns and gives the farmer a jar of honey and the farmer is amazed!
Then the young man all tentative like tells the farmer that he noticed whilst collecting the honey suckle a pussywillow tree....to which the farmer booms..." You just wait there sonny, let me get my hat and coat......"!
