Two sisters

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's blonde. The word is big. She'll

read it very slowly.... 'com-for-da-bul.'
