A blonde and a brunette purchased a farm in Louisiana, but they needed a bull. It was decided that the brunette would take $200 and go to Chicago to buy the bull. She purchased the bull for $197 and went to send her friend a telegram. The clerk told her the telegram would cost three dollars per word to Louisiana. The brunette thought for a moment, then decided to send one word: "Comfortable."
The clerk was puzzled and asked, "How will your friend know what you mean?"
The brunette replied, "Well, you see, my friend is a little slow, so when she gets this, she'll read: 'Com-for-da-bul.'"
