The Blonde Telegram

THE BLONDE TELEGRAM

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. The brunette
balances their checkbook, then takes their last $600 dollars out west
to another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale.


Upon leaving, she 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 does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can 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
thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send
her the word, 'comfortable.'"


The telegraph 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 the
word, 'comfortable'?"


The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde, she'll read it very
slow."
