Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.
Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble.
In order to keep the bank from re-possessing the ranch they need to
purchase a bull from a stockyard in a far-away town so that they can
breed their own stock.
They only have $600 left.
Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister,
"When I get there, 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 stockyard, inspects the bull, and decides
she wants to buy it.
The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less.
After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send
her sister a telegram to tell her the news.
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 pickup 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, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left.
She realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word.
After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says,
"I want you to send her the word "comfortable."
The operator shakes his head.
"How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer
to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your
ranch if you send her just the word "comfortable?"
The brunette explains,
"My sister's blonde. The word's big.
She'll read it very slowly... com-for-da-bull."

You know how people were joking about 2021 sounding like “2020 won”?
Well, next year is 2020 too.

A few minutes before the services started,
satan appeared at the front of the church
Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance,
trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon the church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who
sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the
fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the man and said,
"Do you know who I am?"
The man replied,
"Yep, sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Satan asked.
"Nope, sure ain't."
said the man.
"Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?"
asked Satan.
"Don't doubt it for a minute,"
returned the old man, in an even tone.
"Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying AGONY for all eternity?"
persisted Satan.
"Yep,"
was the calm reply.
"And you are still not afraid?"
asked Satan.
"Nope,"
said the old man.
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked,
"Why aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied,
"Been married to your sister for 48 years."
