A city man moves to the country and decides he's going to take up farming.
He heads to the local livestock supplier and tells the man, "Give me 100 baby chickens."
The supplier complies.
A week later the man returns and says, "Give me 200 baby chickens."
The man at the supplier complies. Again, a week later the man returns.
This time he says, "Give me 500 baby chickens."
"Wow!" the supplier replies. "You must really be doing well!"
"No," said the man with a sigh. "I'm either planting them too deep or too far apart!"
