The Shortest Story
A Sardarji happened to participate in a competition, which was about writing the shortest story. The organizers had put a condition that a story must have four ingredients viz. religion, sex, suspense and mystery.
Sardarji’s turn came after many attempts by others. Sardarji gave a story, which was just one sentence and read:
"Oh god, my wife is going to deliver a child".
Ostensibly amused, the organizers asked the sardarji whether it contained all the four ingredients !!
Sardarji replied affirmatively and gave his explanation as below:
Oh god : religion
My wife: sex
Going to deliver a child: suspense (whether a girl or a boy)
“Okay… but where is the mystery ?” asked one of the organizers.
The sardar replied : who is the father ??
The Sardarji was the obvious winner.
