The farmer and his wife had worked hard, scrimped
and saved to send their son to college. As soon as
he had enroled, he started to grow a beard. Next
he grew a large moustache and sideburns. Being
pleased with his new hirsute adornment, he had his
picture taken and sent it off to his parents.

On the back of the photo he scrawled "How do you
like it? Don't I look like a count?"

Shortly after, the son received this terse note:
"You idiot, it cost us a fortune to send you to
college, and you can't even spell!"The farmer and his wife had worked hard, scrimped
