A rural couple had made sacrifices to
save money to send their
only son to college. Once there, he began
to grown long sideburns,
a mustache, and a goatee. When his facial
hair was luxurious enough
to satisfy him, he had his photograph taken
and mailed it home with
a note that read: "Fascinating, no? Don't
I perhaps look like a count?"
"You idiot!" His father wrote back. "Here
we are spending a fortune
on your education and you can't even SPELL!"
