THE BULL, THE TELEGRAM, AND THE BLONDE..
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 needed to
purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.
Upon leaving to purchase a bull, 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 is big, so she'll
