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 buy a bull so that they can breed their own stock.
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 gets to the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides to buy it.
The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, cash on the spot.
She drives into 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 and I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.'
The telegraph operator says he'll be glad to help her, but winces, adding that it will cost 99 cents for each word.
Having spent all her money on the bull, the brunette realizes that she can only afford to send her sister one word. But what?
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...
