>**Two Texas Sisters:
>**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 from the stockyard in Ft Worth so that they can breed their own stock.
>They only have $600 left. Upon leaving, 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
>stockyard, 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 $1.00 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's big. She'll read it very slowly ... com-for-da-bull.
