A young jackaroo from outback Queensland goes off to university, but halfway through the semester he foolishly has squandered all of his money.

He calls home. "Dad," he says, "you won't believe what modern education is developing. They actually have a program here in Brisbane that will teach our dog Ol' Blue how to talk."

"That's 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, "I'll 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 how's Ol' Blue doing, son?" his father wants to know.

"Awesome! Dad, he's talking up a storm. But you just won't believe this. They've had such good results with talking, they've 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. I'll 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.

"Where's Ol' Blue? I just can't 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 messing around with 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!"

"That's my boy!"

The kid went on to be a successful lawyer.

When is the dog's funeral?

Next Tuesday.

hahaha

awesome

The joke's funeral was last Tuesday.

i don't get it, why didn't he just blackmail his dad?

The kid went on to be a successful lawyer.

'

wtf.. why add that.

yeah y shoot the dog.. just blackmail the dad.. this joke has deeper issues that need resolving

yeh why do ppl put gay stuff at the end of jokes?

fkn politically correct blowjob artists

Maybe they are implying that Lawyers are pricks who will stoop as low as concockting a story about a talking dog to extract cash from their family?

If the guy's from Queensland, why the hell was the dog reading the Wall Street Journal?

^ haha true

This joke raises more questions than it answers.



TO THE LIBRARY!

well that was a derail.

i didn't add it to the end it just copied it from and e-mail.,

I'm sure thats the same excuse the Nazis used.

The father groans and whispers, "I hope you shot that bastard before he talks to your Mother!"

Joke shoulda ended there.

I'm disappointed, I came in here expecting a youtube video or something or a freakish talking dog.

Joke shoulda ended there.

Hence my 'funeral' comment.

NB: "...went on to become a lawyer" is now an acceptable substitute for the classic "funeral next Tuesday" line.



Go internet!!!

heres your YouTube vid

poor dog...

i agree veggie
went on to be a lawyer is the new funeral joke
/cue a new graph about the rise and demise of the joke's funnyness, just like the funeral one.

the funeral thing was some kind of joke? I thought it was just a lame call on this forum. I guess I am just exposed to better comedy.

the 'his funeral will be held next tuesday' is a call based on the last line of the joke told on here about a year ago. the last line was totally unnecessary and actually kinda ruined the joke, just the same as with the lawyer call in this joke.

I guess I am just exposed to better comedy.

hahahah! Please Idol, can you inform us of this better comedy and where we may be exposed to it?

Fatal flaw was that he was from the outback and his dad had money - everyone know's farmers have no money because we don't have daylight savings.

ah but what did he shoot the dog with?

The fatal flaw of the joke was that it was so old.
