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.
