A young jackaroo from outback Queensland goes off to university, but halfway through the semester he has squandered all of his money. He calls home. Dad, he says, you wont believe what modern education is developing...they actually have a program here in Brisbane 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 $2,000, the young jackaroo says, Ill get him in the course. So his father sends the dog and $2,000. About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy calls home. So hows Ol Blue doing, son? his father wants to know. Awesome! Dad, hes talking up a storm... But you just wont believe this. Theyve had such good results with talking, theyve 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. 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 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 bonking that little redhead barmaid at the pub? The father groans and whispers, I hope you shot that bastard before he talks to your Mother! I sure did, Dad! Thats my boy! The kid went on to be a successful lawyer with Slater and Gordon.
