Two sisters, one blond 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 repossesing the
ranch they need to purchase a bull so they can breed their own stock.

The brunette balances their checkbook,then takes their last $600 dollars out west to
another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale.

Upon leaving ,she 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 mans ranch ,inspects the bull,and decides to buy it.

The man tells her he can sell it for $599, no less.

After paying him she drives to the naerest 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 up the trailer to
our pick-up truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.”

The telegraph operator tells her that he will be happy to help her,then adds “it is only 99
cents a word”

Well after paying for the bull the brunette has only $1 left.

She realizes that she’ll only be able to send her sister one word. 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 pick-up truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to
your ranch if you send her the word ‘comfortable’?”

The brunette explaines.”My sisters blond. She ‘ll read it slow

You might try newer jokes.
I think the first joke was in Ann Landers a few times.
This next one was a long windup for a weak punchline.

Two points.

1. All jokes go to MPSIMS.

2. Even over there, please put all of your jokes in the same thread. There is no need to have 500 new threads, each with it's own joke. o.k.?
