Australian Lawyers Education

The son of a farmer from the outback
goes off to study Law at university. Not half
way through the semester he has blown all of
his money on the high city life.

He calls home. 'Dad, you won't believe what
modern education is developing. They actually
have a program here at the Uni that will
teach a dog how to talk.'

'Bloody amazing!' his Dad says. 'Could we get
Ol' Blue into the program?'

'No worries, just send him down here with
$2,000,' the young jackaroo says, 'I'll get
him into the course.'

So father sends down 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'd talk ya bloody head off.
But you just won't believe this. He's such a
brilliant talker, they'd like him to have a
go in the reading class!'

'Read?' exclaims his father. 'No kidding!
Jeez, I knew he was smart. Can you get Ol'
Blue into that program?'

'Just send $4,500. He's as good as in.'

As quick as the money arrives, it is spent.

At the end of the term the young bloke
realises a problem...When he goes home for
the holidays, his father will find out the
dog can neither talk nor read. So on the way
home he stops and shoots the dog.

When he arrives home 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, 'It all had a bad
outcome. Yesterday morning, just before we
left to drive home, Ol' Blue was in the
living room reading the Wall Street Journal.
Out of nowhere he turned to me and asked,
'So, is your dad still having an affair with
that little redhead barmaid from the pub?''

The father groans and whispers, 'I'll have to
shoot that bastard before he blabs to your
Mother!'

'I already did, Dad!'

'Good boy!'

The kid went on to be a successful lawyer.
