Comfortable?
Hoss drove over to the next county to buy a new bull for the farm.
It cost more than expected, and he was left with only one dollar.
This was a problem, since he needed to let his brother, Zeb, know that
he'd bought the bull so he could come get it with the truck - and
telegrams cost a dollar per word.
Hoss thought hard for a minute. Finally he said, "All right.
Here's my dollar. Go ahead and make it this one word:
Comfortable."
"How's that going to get your point across?" the clerk asked, scratching
his head.
"Don't worry," Hoss said. "Zeb's not the greatest reader. He'll
say it real slow."
