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 a far town 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 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 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-bul’.”
