A young cowboy from Texas
goes off to college. Halfway through the semester, he has foolishly squandered
all his money.
He calls home. "Dad," he says,
"You won't believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program
here in College Station that will
teach our dog, Ol' Blue how to talk!"
"That's amazing," his Dad
says. "How do we get Ol' Blue in that program?" "Just send him
down here with $1,000" the young cowboy says. "I'll get him in the course."
So, his father sends the dog and $1,000.
About two-thirds of the way through the semester, the money again runs out. The
boy calls home.
"So how's Ol' Blue doing son?" his father asks.
"
"Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a
storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this - they've had such
good results they have started to teach the animals how to read!"
"Read!?" says his father, "No kidding! How do we get Blue into
that program?"
"Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class."
The money promptly arrives. But our hero
has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog
can neither talk, nor read... so he shoots the dog.
When he arrives home at the end of the
year, his father is all excited. "Where's
Ol' Blue? I just can't wait to see him read something and talk!"
"Dad," the boy says, "I
have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ol'
Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall
Street Journal, like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, "So,
is your daddy still messing' around with that young lady who lives in
town?"
The father exclaimed, "I hope you shot that son of a bitch
before he talks to your Mother!"
"I sure did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"
The kid went on to be a successful
lawyer and then went into politics.
