Young cowboy and Ol' Blue
A young cowboy from Wyoming goes off to college.
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 Laramie
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 $!,000.00," the young cowboy
says, "I'll get him in the course."
So, his father sends the dog and $!,000.00.
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 have had such good results
they have started to teach the animals how to read!"
"Read!?" asks the father. "No kidding! How we get Ol' 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 that 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 turns to me and asks, 'So, is your daddy still
messing around with that little redhead who lives down
the road a bit?"
His father exclaims, "Oh oh, I hope you shot that
no-good.........before he talked to your Mother!"
"I sure did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"
The kid went on to law school, and now serves in
Washington D. C, as a Congressman.
