In 2017 Posh and Becks are hounded out of the UK and set off to California
to buy a ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years they are in financial
trouble. Years of designer clothes and Brooklyn's Pokemon habit have taken
their toll.
In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase
a bull so they can breed their own stock. Posh looks at the bank balance
then takes their last $600 out west to another ranch where a man has a prize
bull for sale.
Upon leaving, she tells David "when I get there, if I decide to buy the
bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and bring it home."
Posh arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to
buy it. The man tells her he can sell it for $599, no less. After paying
him, she drives to the nearest town to send David a telegram to tell him the
news. She walks into the Telegraph office and says, "I want to send a
telegram to David Beckham telling him that I've bought a bull for our
ranch. I need him to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out
here so we can take 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, Posh only has $1 left. She realises that
she'll only be able to send David one word.
After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send
him the word, 'Comfortable."'
The telegraph operator shakes his head "How is he ever going to know that
you want him to hitch the trailer to your pick-up truck and drive out here
to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send him the word
'comfortable'?"
Posh explains, "David's stupid. He'll read it slow".
