A brunette and her blonde sister had just inherited a ranch.
Deciding that they needed to buy a bull, the brunette told
her sister that she would go into town, find a bull she liked, and if she bought it, send a telegram back telling her sister to come pick up the bull. The blonde agreed, so the brunette took $600 and went to town. There, she found a bull she just loved and bought it for $599.
When she walked into the post office, the post man told her that a telegram was a dollar per word. "But I only have one dollar!" she exclaimed.
"Then you only get one word," he calmly replied.
After thinking long and hard, she finally decided on her word: "Comfortable."
"Are you sure that's the word you want?" asked the postman, puzzled.
"Yep. You don't know my sister. She's a blonde; she'll read it really slowly and say COME-FOR-DA-BULL."
