A young cowboy from Bearberry just outside of Calgary
goes off to college in Ontario.
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 Waterloo 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 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've had such good results they have started to teach the
animals how to read!"
"Read!?" says his father, "No kidding! How do we get 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 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 Shakespeare, like he usually does.
Then he turned to me and asked, "So, is your daddy still messing
around with that little blonde who lives in that old house on the street at the end of the town
The father exclaimed,
"I hope you shot that SOB before he talks to
your mother!"
"I sure did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"
The kid went on to law school,
and now serves in Ottawa as a Senator.
