muck Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 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 repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. 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 man's ranch, 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 and 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 will cost 99 cents a word. Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette 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 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 blonde. The word is big. She'll read it very slowly... 'com-for-da-bul.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEC=UGA Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 There are SO many things wrong with that joke... First, why a telegraph? That would seem to me that this joke is based in the early 1900's. It should be noted that the first widely manufactured pick-up truck didn't appear until roughly 1925 and at the time was not known as a "pick-up" truck. Further, the $.99 per word would have been an OUTLANDISH amount of money for a telegraph. Further, even if this did occur post 1925, after the advent of the pick-up truck, and occurred any time up to the mid-30's at which point the telegraph basically ceased to exist, $599 for a bull would have been an extremely high price.

CaptainHook Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) A blonde is in the middle of a cornfield in a rowboat. Another blonde is driving by and sees her flailing about with the oars. Enraged, she slams on the brakes and gets out of the car. She yells, "It's blondes like you that give us a bad name! And, If I could swim, I'd come out there and kick your ASS!" Edited February 15, 2012 by CaptainHook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
