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

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.”

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
