My sister sent this to me -

southeast, NE

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherited a ranch but
soon ran into financial trouble. To keep the bank from repossessing, they decided to buy a bull so they could breed their own stock. The brunette withdrew their last $600 and drove out West to a ranch where a man had a prize bull for sale. Upon leaving, she told her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out and haul it home." The brunette arrived at the ranch, and decided to buy the bull. The man said he'd sell it for $599, and no less. After paying him, she drove to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walked into the telegraph office and said, "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 said he'd be glad to help, at 99 cents a word. The brunette only had $1, so she sent her sister one word: Comfortable. "How is that going to get your message across?" the telegraph operator asked. The brunette replied, "My sister's blonde. She'll read it real slow." (Com-for-da-bul.) Guess what color my hair is?
