Nan Quick and Bob Brunner decided that partnering on a humor submission was enough cooperation for them.
The sister takes their life savings of $600 dollars and goes to Texas to buy a bull. She eventually meets with an old cowboy that will sell her a bull.
"It's the only one I got for $599, take it or leave it."
She buys the bull and goes to the local telegram office and says, "I'd like to send a telegram to my brother in Louisiana that says: 'Have found the stud bull for our ranch, bring the trailer'."
The man behind the counter tells her, "Telegrams to anywhere in the U.S. are $.75 per word."
She thinks about it for a moment and decides. "I'd like to send one word, please."
"And what word would that be?" inquires the man.
"Comfortable," replies the sister.
The man asks, "I'm sorry miss, but how is your brother gonna understand this telegram?"
The sister replies, "My brother is an idiot and reads REAL slow, when he gets this, he will see COM-FOR-DA-BULL."
