The way I see it, as long as we can still laugh, we are in pretty good shape.

From: C. Y.

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family

ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in

financial trouble. To keep the bank from repossessing the

ranch, they need to purchase a bull from the stockyard in a

far town so they can breed their own stock.

They have only $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 has only $1 left. She

realizes that she'll be able to send her sister just 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 a blonde. The word's

big. She'll read it very slowly: 'com-for-da-bull'! "
