A young jackaroo from outback Queensland goes off to university, but halfway through the semester he 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, sitting back in the recliner, reading the Courier Mail. 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 got rid of him before he talks to your Mother!'
'I sure did, Dad!' 'That's my boy!'
The kid went on to be a successful Barrister.

houdini Over in Malaysia they are still handing out crutches.
Putrajaya last fixed petrol prices when 1USD=3.70Rgt. Now Rgt is 3.20 against USD, and Putrajaya has also admitted a 10.1% growth.
Meanwhile oil prices have fallen about 20USD per barrel, but Malaysian motorists pay at the old price (about 15% more than what they should be).
Has Putrajaya`s Finance Minister made another huge loss (like the circa `93 "Tin" losss) playing forward contracts on oil prices through Petronas & TNB while malaysian taxpayers now have to save his ass - once again.
