A boy goes and buys a one-piece fishing pole that is 6' 3" long. As he goes to get on the bus, the bus driver tells him that he can't take anything on the bus longer than 6'.

The boy goes back to town, buys one more thing, and the bus driver allows him on the bus.

He did not damage the fishing pole in any way.

What did he buy, and what did he do with it?

Well, this is in Tricks, so maybe it's not so silly. What if he bought a banner that had a picture of six human feet, but the banner was, say, seven feet long?

Then he can hold up his fishing rod next to the banner and show that his fishing rod is shorter than six feet.

My other guess is he bought a fish, hooked it on the end of his fishing line. Then when he stood the fishing pole up, the weight of the fish will bend the end of the pole over. Hopefully it will bend 3 inches.

That's it, I'm out of guesses =)
