A Boy from Arkansas

A young Arkie goes off to college. Half way through

the semester, having foolishly squandered all of his money

on his girlfriend, he calls home.

"Dad," he says, "You won't believe what modern

education is developing! They actually have a program here

at Hendrix that will teach our dog, Ole' Blue how to

talk!"

"That's amazing," his Dad says. "How do I get Ole'

Blue in that program?"

"Just send him over here with $1,000" the young

Arkie says "and I'll get him in the course."

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

About two-thirds of the way through the

semester, the money again runs out.

The boy calls home.

"So how's Ole' Blue doing son?" his Father

asks.

"Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says,

"but you just won't believe this -- they've had such good

results they have started 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. The Arkie and his

girlfriend are able to buy enough marijuana to last the

whole semester. But our hero has a problem. At the end of

the year, his Father will find out the dog can neither talk,

nor read. Even though he was always pretty much able to lie

his way out of trouble, the Arkie asked his girlfriend to

help him think of a really good lie to tell his Dad.

She very quickly came up with a plan for him.

So she has him shoot the dog.

When he arrives home at the end of the year, his

Father is all excited.

"Where's Ole' 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, Ole'

Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner,

reading the Wall Street Journal, like he usually

does".

"Then Ole' Blue turned to me and asked, so, is your

Daddy still messing around with that little redhead who

lives down the street?"

The Father went white and exclaimed, "I hope you

shot that lying damn dog before he talks to your Mother!"

"I sure did, Dad!"

"That's my boy!"

The kid married his girlfriend, they both went on

to law school in Fayetteville , he became Governor of

Arkansas and President of the United States , and

you already know what a lying harpie his girlfriend

turned out to be!
