Blonde Joke

Two sisters, aptly named Pam and Karen, 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 topurchase a bull from the stockyard in a far town so that they can breedtheir own stock. They only have $600 left.
Upon leaving, the Karen 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."
Karen arrives at the stockyard, inspects the bull, and decidesshe 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 blondsister a telegram to tell her the news.
She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send atelegram 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 it here sowe 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, Karen 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 tosend 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'?"
Karen explains, "My sister's a blonde. The word's big. She'll read it very slowly......... com-for-da-bull".
