A blonde and a redhead are the owners of a ranch. Unfortunately, they have just lost their beloved bull, leaving them in a predicament.
The two women are in need of purchasing a replacement bull, but their budget is limited to only $500. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the redheaded rancher decides to take action.
The redhead tells the blonde, “I will go to the market and see if I can find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram to let you know.”
Determined, the redhead ventures to the market and successfully locates a suitable bull for $499. However, with only one dollar left in her pocket, she faces a new challenge when she arrives at the telegraph office.
The redhead discovers that sending a telegram costs one dollar per word, leaving her in a quandary about how to efficiently communicate the necessary information to the blonde.
Faced with this dilemma, the redhead ponders her options, trying to find a clever way to convey the message while being mindful of the cost.
Finally, the redhead decides to send the single word “comfortable” to the telegraph operator, leaving the blonde to decipher the meaning.
The telegraph operator, sensing the unorthodox nature of the message, questions the redhead, “How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?”
The redhead, understanding the blonde’s particular mindset, replies with a smile, “She’s a blonde so she reads slow: ‘Come for ta bull.'”
