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. Upon leaving to
  check out a good prospect, the brunette tells her sister: 'Now, 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 seller's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides
  to buy it.
  After paying him the $599 asking price, 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 has only $1 left, meaning
  she'll only be able to send her sister a one-word message. 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 a blonde. The word's a big one.
She'll read
  it slowly...out loud... ('com-for-da-bul').'
