SMART KID


A young jackaroo from outback Queensland goes off to university, but
halfway through the semester he foolishly has squandered all of his money.


He calls home. "Dad," he says, "you won't believe what modern education is
developing. They actually have a program here in Brisbane 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 $2,000," the young jackaroo says, "I'll get
him in the course."


So his father sends the dog $2,000.


About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy
calls home. "So how's Ol' Blue doing, son?" his father wants to know.


"Awesome! Dad, he's talking up a storm. But you just won't believe this.
They've had such good results with talking, they've begun to teach the
animals how to read."


"Read?!" exclaims his father. "No kidding! How do we get Ol' Blue in that
program?"


"Just send $4,500. 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 talk with him, and see him read
something!"


"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 the Wall Street Journal. Then he suddenly turned to me
and asked, 'So,is your daddy still messing around with that little redhead
barmaid at the pub?'"


The father groans and whispers, "I hope you shot that b*st*rd before he
talks to your Mother!"


"I sure did, Dad!"


"That's my boy!"
No need to tell you the kid went on to be a successful lawyer
