Subject: Old blue
A young farm lad from Iowa from goes off to college, but about 1/3 of
the way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered away all of
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 at Iowa State that will teach our dog Ole
Blue how to talk!"
"That's absolutely amazing," his father says. "How do I get him into
that program?"
"Just send him down here with $1,000" the boy says. "I'll get him into
the course".
So, his father sends the dog and the $1,000. About 2/3 of the way
through the semester, the money runs out. The boy calls his father again.
"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 with this program that
they've implemented a new one to teach the animals how to read!"
"READ?" says his father, "No kidding! What do I have to do to get him
in that program?"
Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class." His father sends the
money.
The boy now 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 gets home at the end of the semester, his father is all excited.
"Where's Ole Blue? I just can't wait to hear him talk and read
something!" "Dad," the boy says, "I have some 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, 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 says, "I hope you shot that son of a bitch before he gets a
chance to talk to your Mother!"
"I sure did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"
