911　A One-word Telegraph 一个字的电报

A blonde and a brunette are running a ranch together in Louisiana. They decide they need a bull to mate with their cows to increase their herd. The brunette takes their life savings of $600 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 friend in Louisiana that says: ‘Have found the 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 says, “I'd like to send one word, please.” “And what word would that be?” inquires the man. “Comfortable,” replies the brunette. The man asks, “I'm sorry miss, but how is your friend gonna understand this telegram?” The brunette replies, “My friend is blonde and reads REAL slow. When she gets this, she will see COME-FOR-THE-BULL.”

一个金色头发的女人和一个黑色头发的女人一起在路易丝安那州办一个饲养场。她们决定买一头公牛和她们的母牛交配来增加牲畜的数量。这个黑色头发的女人带着她们的全部积蓄600美元到得克萨斯买公牛。她最后碰到一个老牛仔。他能卖给她一头公牛。“这是我唯一一头599美元的公牛。不买就走人。”她买下了这头公牛，然后来到当地的电报局。她说：“我要给路易丝安那州的朋友发一份电报，说：‘已为我们的饲养场买到公牛。带拖车来。’”电报局的职员告诉她：“发到美国任何地方的电报都是每个字75美分。”她想了一会儿说：“我要发一份一个字的电报。”电报局的职员问：“哪一个字？”黑色头发的女人说：“Comfortable。”职员问：“对不起，小姐。你的朋友怎么能读懂这份电报？”黑色头发的女人说：“我的朋友是一个金发女郎。她读起来非常慢。当她拿到这份电报时，她就会读成come-for-the-bull（来取公牛）。”
