funny one line stories

A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store.

Well, here's a kid - friendly one. The fish went to school to get smarter. But all it learned was how to swim in circles. It's a simple and silly story that kids would find funny.

The doctor gave me some cream for my skin rash. He said it was a topical solution. I replied, 'Thanks, Doc. I had no idea my rash was so well - known.'

Sure. Here's one: I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.

A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store.

One: I told my dog he was adopted. He looked at me, sniffed, and went back to sleep. He doesn't care. Another: I asked the librarian if the library had any books on paranoia. She whispered, 'They're right behind you!'

Story 1: A cat saw a mirror. It thought it was another cat. So it hissed for an hour. Story 2: I told my plant a joke. It didn't laugh. Maybe it needs better ears. Story 3: I bought shoes online. They looked great. But they were for the wrong foot.

One that stands out is 'I heard a child laughing in the empty school at night.' Empty schools at night are already spooky places, and the sound of a child's laughter when there should be no children there adds to the horror. It makes you think about the possible reasons for the laughter. Is it a ghost of a child who met an untimely end? Or is it something even more sinister?

A play on words often works well. Consider this: 'The cross - eyed teacher couldn't control his pupils.' It's funny because 'pupils' has two meanings, and the play on that in relation to a cross - eyed teacher is clever. Also, relatable situations can make a one - line story effective. If a lot of people have experienced something similar, like waiting forever for a late bus and then seeing three come at once, and it's presented in a funny way, it can be very effective.
