Talking dog Forums

A young boy goes off to college, but about 1/3 way through the course, he has foolishly squandered what money his parents gave
him. "Hmmmm," he wonders, "How am I gonna get more dough?" Then
he gets an idea. He calls his father.

"Dad," he says, "you won't believe the wonders that modern
education are coming up with! Why, they actually have a program
here that will teach Fido how to talk!"

"That's absolutely amazing!" his father says. "How do I get him
in that program?"

"Just send him down here with $1000," the boy says, "I'll get him
into the course."

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.

"So how's Fido 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 with this
program, that they've implemented a new one to teach the animals
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."

And his father sends the money.

At the end of the semester, the boy has a problem. When he gets
home, his father will find out that the dog can neither talk nor
read. So he shoots the dog. When he gets home, his father is all
excited.

"Where's Fido? I just can't wait to hear him talk and listen to
him read something!"

"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. This morning when I
got out of the shower, Fido was in the living room kicking back
in the recliner, reading the morning paper, like he usually does.
Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messing"
around with that little redhead who lives on Oak Street?' "

The father says, "Oh, I hope you SHOT that lying dog!"

"I sure did, Dad!"

"That's my boy!"
