TWO SISTERS
Unfortunately, just a few years after two sisters inherited the family ranch, they were in financial trouble. After filling their vehicles with fuel, they were down to their last $600. In order to keep the bank from re-possessing the ranch, they needed to purchase a bull from the stockyard in a far town so that they could breed their own stock.
Upon leaving, the older told her sister, "If I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me with the truck and haul it home."
Arriving at the stockyard, the older sister inspected the bull and decided she wanted to buy it. The man told her that he would sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drove into town and walked into the telegraph office, saying, "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 explained that he'd be glad to send the message, "It's just 99 cents a word."
Well, now the brunette only had $1 left. After a few minutes of thinking, she nodded and said, "I want you to send her the word "comfortable."
The operator shook 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?"
She explained, "My sister can't pronounce her "t'''s properly and it's a big word and she will read it very slowly...
