Oldie but goodie...
A young Wyoming cowboy went off to college, but halfway through the semester, he had foolishly squandered all his money. He called home. "Dad," he said, "You won't believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program here in Laramie that will teach our dog, Ole Blue, how to talk!"
"That's amazing," his Dad said. "How can I get Ole Blue in that program?"
"Just send him down here with $1,000," the young cowboy said, "and I'll get him in the course."
So, his father sent the dog and $1,000. About two-thirds through the semester, the money again ran out. The boy called home. "So, how's Ole Blue doing, son?" his father asked.
"Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he said, "but you just won't believe this. They've had such good results they have started to teach the animals how to read!"
"Read!" said his father, "No kidding! How can we get Ole Blue in that program?"
"Just send $2,500 and I'll get him in the class."
The money promptly arrived, but our hero had a problem: at the end of the year, his father would find out the dog could neither talk nor read. So he shot the dog.
When he arrived home at the end of the year, his father was all excited. "Where's Ole Blue? I just can't wait to see him read something and talk!"
"Dad," the boy said, "I have grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ole Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal as usual, when he turned to me and asked, "So, is your daddy still messin' around with that little redhead who lives across town?"
The father exclaimed, "Geez, shoot that sonovabitch before he talks to your Mother!"
"I did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"
The kid went on to become a successful lawyer.
