Well, it should be concise. For example, a short story about a cat trying to catch its tail in a really silly way. It should also have an unexpected ending, like the story of a fish that wanted to climb a tree and at the end it found out it could fly instead.
One characteristic is that it can create a vivid mental image. For instance, a short story about a group of ants having a disco party in the kitchen. The more vivid the image, the funnier the story. And it should have a touch of absurdity, like a mouse teaching a cat how to meow. This kind of illogical element adds to the humor of the short story for the joke of the day.
A good joke of the day short story often has relatable characters. Let's say a story about a student who brought his pet elephant to school thinking it was show - and - tell day. People can relate to the idea of making a mistake in a funny way. Also, it needs to be easy to understand quickly so that it can bring instant laughter.
A snail got mugged by two turtles. When the police asked him what happened, he said, 'I don't know. It all happened so fast.' It's a simple yet humorous short story for a joke of the day.
A snail goes to a car dealership and says, 'I want a really fast car.' The salesman says, 'I'm sorry, we don't have any cars for snails.' The snail says, 'But I really need one.' The salesman, getting annoyed, says, 'Well, even if we did, you're too slow to drive it!' The snail replies, 'That's okay, I'll put it on my shell.'
Micro-fiction was a form of literature that expressed profound emotions and thoughts in a short form. Below is a micro-novel that I hope you will like: A bird flew into an unfamiliar forest and met a rabbit. The rabbit asked the bird,"what are you doing here?" The bird replied,"I am looking for my home." The rabbit said,"Where do you belong?" The bird replied,"I don't know, but I have to find it." The rabbit flew to the bird and tried to catch it. The bird saw the rabbit and flew away. The rabbit caught up, but the bird had already flown away. The rabbit felt very depressed. He asked the other animals,"why do birds always fly away?" A squirrel said," A bird's home does not lie in its home, but in its soul." This story tells us that everyone's fate depends on our own heart and not our environment.
One characteristic is the element of surprise. For example, in the joke 'Why is the doctor so angry? Because he has no patience.', the play on the word 'patience' as both a virtue and a medical term is unexpected.
They also tend to be more detailed. A short joke might just be a one - liner, but a long joke story can describe the setting, the characters, and their actions in more depth. For instance, in a story about a group of friends at a restaurant. It can describe what each friend looks like, what they order, and how the waiter behaves. All these details are there to create a more vivid and engaging story that ultimately leads to the funny part.
The joke about the snail. A snail gets mugged by two turtles. When the police ask him what happened, he says, 'I don't know. It all happened so fast.' This joke story is funny because it contrasts the slow - moving nature of a snail with the idea of something happening 'fast' and the unexpected situation of a snail getting mugged.
Here's one: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!
Sure. Here is one. A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store.
Well, here is a different one. I'm reading a book about anti - gravity. It's impossible to put down. The humor comes from the double meaning of 'put down' which can mean both to stop reading a book and to place something down physically.
One 'joke time story' could be about a clumsy magician. He was trying to make a rabbit disappear but instead made his own hat vanish. It was really funny when he started looking everywhere for it while the rabbit just sat there chewing on a carrot.
