Smart Boy
A young cowboy from Rosetown,Saskatchewan goes off to college,
but halfway through the semesterhe foolishly has squandered all of
his money.
He calls home. 'Dad,' he says,'you won't believe what modern
education is developing. They actually have a program here in
Regina 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 Ol' Blue doing, son?'
his father wants to know.
'Awesome! Dad, he's talking up a storm. But you just won't believe
this. They've had such good results with talking, they've
begun to teach the animals how to read.'
'Read?!' exclaims his father. 'No kidding! How do 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 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 talk with him, and see
him read something!'
'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. Then he suddenly turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messing around with that little redhead barmaid at the Blue Sky Café and Tavern?''
The father groans and whispers, '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.Last edited by Breslauer; 22nd January 2009 at 03:36 AM. Reason: spelling

Top o'the morning to you, Allan. Glad you enjoyed the joke, it's the first time I ever heard it myself and thought I should pass it on to my friends at the Forum

Still a good update/upgrade, though. And I had to dig deep to find the earlier one.
Cheers,
