Bubba goes off to Auburn, but about one-third 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. "Dad," Bubba says, "You won't believe the wonders that modern education is coming up with! Why, they actually have a program here at Auburn that will teach our dog, Ole Blue how to talk!" "That's absolutely amazing," his father says. "How do I get him in that program?" "Just send him down here with $1,000" the boy says. "I'll get him into 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.
Bubba calls his father again. "So how's Ole Blue doing, son," his father asks. "Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," Bubba says, "but you just won't believe this - they've had such good results with this program that they've implemented a new one to teach the animals how to READ!"
"READ," says his father, "No kidding! What do I have to do to get him in that program?"
Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class."
His father sends Bubba the money. But Bubba now has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out that the dog can neither talk, nor read. So Bubba shoots the dog. When he gets home at the end of the semester, his father is all excited.
"Where's Ole Blue? I just can't wait to see him talk and read something!"
"Dad," Bubba says, "I have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ole Blue was in the living room 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 messin' around with that little redhead who lives in town?'
The father says, "I hope you SHOT that lying old dawg before he talks to your Mother!"
"I sure did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"
Bubba went on to become a successful Lumber Company executive.
