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 realizes 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 is a blonde. The word is
big.
She'll read it very slowly...
