A young cowboy from Texas goes off to college, but half way 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 Corpus Christi that will teach our
dog, Ol' Blue how to talk!"
"That's amazing," his Dad says. "How do I 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 through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy
calls home.
"So how's Ole' 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 in 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 bad news. Yesterday morning, just before
we left to drive home, Ol' Blue was in the dorm room, kicked back in the
bed, 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 little
redhead who lives in town?' "
The father exclaimed, "I hope you shot that bastard before he talks to your Mother!"
"I sure did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"
The kid went on to be a successful lawyer and congressman.
