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's just 99 cents
a word." Well, after paying for the bull,
the brunette only has $1 left.
She 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's big.
She'll read it very slowly
