The Joke |

Law School. A young farm boy goes off to law school, but a month into the semester he's foolishly squandered all the money his parents gave him. Then he gets an idea. He calls his daddy. "Dad," he says, "you won't believe the wonders that modern education is coming up with! Why, they actually have a program here that will teach our dog Old Blue how to talk!" "That's amazing," Dad says, "How do I get him in that program?" The boy says, "Just send him down here with $1,000, and I'll get him into the course." So, Dad sends the dog and the money. A month later, the money runs out. The boy calls his dad again. "How's Old Blue doing?" Dad asks. "Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm, but you won't believe this; they've had such good results with the program that they've implemented a new one to teach animals how to read!" "Read?" says Dad, "No kidding! How do I get him in that program?" "Just send $2,500; I'll get him in the class." Dad sends the money, but the boy now has a problem. At the end of the year, his dad will find out that the dog can't talk or read. So he shoots the dog. When he gets home his dad is all excited. "Where's Old Blue? I can't wait to see him talk and read!" "Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. Yesterday before we left to drive home, Old Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal as usual. He turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messing around with that little redhead in town?'" Dad says, "I hope you shot that mutt before he talks to your mother!" "I sure did, Dad!" "That's my boy!" The kid graduated and went on to a successful law career. |
