Sally goes to work one morning, crying her eyes out.
Her boss, concerned for his employee, walks over to her and asks sympathetically, “What’s the matter?”
The blonde replies, “Early this morning, I got a phone call that my mother had passed away.”
The boss, feeling very sorry at this point, suggests to the young girl, “Why don’t you go home for the day… we aren’t terribly busy. Just take the day off and go relax.”
Sally very calmly states, “No, I’d be better off here. I need to keep my mind busy, and I have the best chance of doing that here.”
The boss agrees and allows her to work as usual.
“If you need anything, just let me know,” says the boss.
A few hours pass, and the boss decides to check on Sally. He looks out of his office and sees her crying hysterically.
He rushes over and asks, “What’s the matter now? Are you going to be ok?”
Sally breaks down in tears, “I just received a horrible call from my sister. She said that her mom di3d too!!”
================================================
Two sisters, a blonde and a 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 they can breed their own stock.
The brunette balances their checkbook, then decides to take their last $600 dollars out west to another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale. Upon leaving, she tells her sister, “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 does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram.
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. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pick-up 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’s just 99 cents a word.”
Well, with only $1 left after paying for the bull, the brunette realizes that she’ll only be able to send her sister one word. After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, “I want you to send her the word, comfortable.”
The telegraph operator shakes his head. “How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pick-up truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you just write, comfortable?”
The brunette explains, “My sister’s a blonde. She’ll read it slowly.”
