Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.<br /> Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble.<br /> In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to<br /> purchase a bull from the stockyard in a far town so that they can<br /> breed their own stock. They only have $600 left.<br /><br /> Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, "When I get there, if I<br /> decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and<br /> haul it home."<br /><br /> The brunette arrives at the stockyard, inspects the bull, and decides<br /> she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599 -<br /> no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her<br /> sister a telegram to tell her the news.<br /><br /> She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a<br /> telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our<br /> ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive it<br /> here so we can haul it home."<br /><br /> The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then<br /> adds, "It's just 99 cents a word."<br /><br /> Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She<br /> realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word.<br /><br /> After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, "I want you to send<br /> her the word 'comfortable'."<br /><br /> The operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you<br /> want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and<br /> drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her<br /> just the word 'comfortable'?"<br /><br /> The brunette explains, "My sister's a blonde. The word's big. She'll<br /> read it very slowly. com-for-da-bull".
