Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the
family ranch.
Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial
trouble.
In order to keep the bank from
repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed
their own stock.
Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, 'When I get
there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and
haul it home.'
The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the
bull, and decides she wants to buy it..
The man tells her that he will sell it for
$599, no less.
After paying him, she drives to the
nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.
She walks into the
telegraph office, and says, 'I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her
that I've bought a bull for our ranch.
I need her to hitch the trailer to our
pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.'
The telegraph
operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, it will cost 99
cents a word.
Well, after paying for the bull, the
brunette realize s that she'll only be able to send her sister one
word.
After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, 'I want you to
send her the word 'comfortable.'
The operator shakes his head. 'How is
she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup
truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her
just the word 'comfortable?'
The brunette explains, 'My sister's
blonde. The word is big.
She'll read it very slowly.....
'com-for-da-bul.'
