Jokes What Ain't So Big

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I was going to call this *Really Short Jokes * but I figured folks would think it was short-people jokes, then I was going to call it *Brief Jokes * but then people would think it was about funny underwear. So I just called it the next thing that came into my head.

This is the deal: I made up a four-word joke which I posted in another thread. It went like this: Man: “I’m constipated.” Man’s friend: “No shit?”

Today I made up a three word joke: “Sex is boring.”

I then remembered a two word joke from *Saturday Night Live * years ago. A scene opened up in an ancient Greek tailor shop. One Greek holding some clothes faces another: 1st man: “Euripides?” 2nd man: “Eumenides?”

So now I’m wondering if there are other very short jokes. Does anybody know any? Can there possibly be a one-worder? There is the one about the prisoners who assigned numbers to jokes but that doesn’t count.

Seventy-three!

A one word joke, eh? Hmm… no wait, I got it:

Bush.

(Sorry, cheap humour. I don’t really have any political opinions either way, yadda, yadda…)

I’m guessing one word jokes are likely to be self referential in some way, just because it packs more info in.

And of course, if you’re allowed some set up, a lot of jokes have only one line of DIALOG.

For a truly brief joke, there’s always the classic “Semper ubi sub ubi.”

(Answer, for those who haven’t seen this old, old one:)“Always where under where” (Always wear underwear). Nyuk nyuk nyuk.
