THAT'S MY BOY<br /><br />A young Southern boy 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.<br /><br />"Dad," he says, "you won't believe the wonders that modern education are coming up with! Why, they<br />actually have a program here at college that will teach Ole Blue how to talk!"<br /><br />"That's absolutely amazing," his father says. "How do I get him in that program?"<br /><br />"Just send him down here with $1000," the boy says. "I'll get him into the course." <br /><br />So, his father sends the dog and the $1000. About 2/3 way through the semester, the money runs out. The boy calls his father again.<br /><br />"So, how's Ole Blue doing, son?" his father asks.<br /><br />"Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says,"but you just won't believe this - they've had such good<br />results with this program that they've implemented a new one to teach the animals how to READ!"<br /><br />"READ," says his father, "No kidding! What do I have to do to get him in that program?"<br /><br />"Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class."<br /><br />His father sends the money. The boy now has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out that<br />the dog can neither talk, nor read. So he shoots the dog.<br /><br />When he gets home at the end of the semester, his father is all excited.<br /><br />"Where's Ole Blue? I just can't wait to see him talk and read something!"<br /><br />"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim newsYesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ole Blue<br />was in the living room kicking back in the recliner, reading the morning paper, like he usually does. Then<br />he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messin' around with that little redhead who lives on<br />Oak Street?' "<br /><br />The father says, "I hope you SHOT that big mouth mutt before he talks to your Mother!"<br /><br />"I sure did, Dad!"
