Well, here's one. A chicken walks into a library and goes up to the librarian and says, 'Book, book, book!' The librarian gives it a book and it walks out. That's a short and funny one for you!
A guy goes to the doctor. 'Doctor, I keep thinking I'm a moth.' Doctor says, 'I think you need a psychiatrist, not a doctor.' Guy says, 'Yes, I know.' Doctor asks, 'So why did you come here?' Guy replies, 'Well, your light was on.'
Gag. A gag is a really short and often extremely funny bit of a story. It's like a quick punch - line or a comical situation that's over in a flash but leaves you in stitches.
A very funny short story typically has elements like a unique premise, funny wordplay, and a fast-paced plot that keeps the reader engaged and laughing throughout. Also, having characters with quirky personalities can add to the humor.
Sure. Once a man went to a restaurant. He ordered a steak. When the waiter brought it, the man said, 'Waiter, this steak is so tough I can't cut it with my knife.' The waiter replied, 'Sir, that steak is so tender that it can't even hold a knife.'
Sure. Once there was a man who went to a pet store to buy a parrot. He saw a beautiful parrot with a sign that said, 'This parrot can repeat everything it hears.' The man bought it and took it home. But for two weeks, the parrot didn't say a word. The man tried everything, talking to it constantly. Finally, in a fit of anger, he yelled at the parrot, 'You stupid bird! Why can't you talk?' And the parrot said, 'Maybe I was just thinking. You don't have to be so rude.'
Well, it usually has a sudden twist. For example, in a short story like 'The two fish were in a tank. One said to the other, 'Do you know how to drive this thing?'', the unexpected question at the end makes it funny.
