A young student had the brilliant idea of fooling his father in order to get more money out of his Dad. However, he was going to have a problem explaining it all to his Father when he came home. His solution delves into the darker side of humor.

The Reading and Talking Dog

A young cowboy from Montana goes off to college.

Halfway through the semester, having 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 Missoula 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, “and I’ll get him in the course.”

So his father sends the dog and the $1,000.

About two-thirds of the way through the semester, the money runs out again. The boy calls home.

“So how’s ol’ Blue doing son?” his father asks.

“Awesome, Dad, he’s talking up a storm,” the boy says, “but you just won’t believe this — they’ve had such good results they are now starting 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 the Wall Street Journal like he usually does.”

“Then ol’ Blue turned to me and asked, so, is your daddy still messing around with the little redhead who lives down the street?”

The father went white and exclaimed, “I hope you shot that son-of-a-bitch before he talks to your Mother!”

“I sure did, Dad!”

Now, the young boy’s methods might be horrific, but I was still laughing at the punch line!
