A young cowboy named Phil, from Wyoming, goes off to college. Half way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered all his money, so he calls home. Dad, he says, You wont believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program here in Laramie that will teach our dog, Ol Blue, how to talk! Thats 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. Ill 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 hows Ol Blue doing son? his father asks. Awesome, Dad, hes talking up a storm, he says, but you just wont believe this - theyve 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, Ill 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. Wheres Ol Blue? I just cant 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 livingroom, 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 down the street? The father exclaimed, I hope you shot that SOB before he talks to your Mother! I sure did, Dad! Thats my boy! The kid went on to law school, and now serves in Washington D.C., as a Congressman!
