Six Word Stories

Hey,

I read that somebody once challenged Hemmingway to write a story in six words. He came up with this:

"For sale: baby shoes, never used."

Who can do the same with a comic story?

Here's mine:

"Man bites dog buys rabies meds."

Not really a story, but:

Wife leaves husband for homosexual male.

Nice work, boys.

How about...

Lazy mortician uses dishwasher for scalpels.

Woman looking for the perfect man.

The begining, the middle, the end.

That is quite brilliant.

That's a winner too.

I haven't got time to read all this prose. I suggest we try to cut it down to three words.

Repaired bucket leaks.

Sleeping Beauty V Cinderella, Fight night!

Here's another three worder:

Doctor dies suddenly.

Speed camera catches Cheetah doing 40.

No takers for my suggestion then?

Rigged election - fair.

Aged transvestite unearths pinecone. Sobs uncontrollably.

Anti abortionist suicides.

Not here apparently.

I think 3 words is altogether too limiting.

Littlejohn soils trousers.

Ha ha!
