Every so often, somebody will say that Hemingway wrote the greatest short story ever, in only 6 words:
For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.
Well, I wonder if we can get a bit shorter:
Check the safety, Ernie!
There you go: biography, dispatched in 4 words. If you didn’t like that, perhaps you can seek solace in religion:
Jesus wept.
(That was also my English teacher’s favourite sentence.)
Anyone got any good one word stories?
