i have been reading through past posts about length of scripts, sketches and so on. It reminded me of a compettion I once noticed in a national newspaper, I can't remember all the details, but the gist of it was to write the shortist novel ever. The winner was agreed to be, "cinderella got divorced", now to me; a "lazy git" by any standards this was a brilliant piece of work. Can it be bettered?.

No, the end...
Like that famous Hemingway one...
For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Wasn't the shortest poem about a goldfish?
Oh wet pet.

That says so much in only 6 words.
the Hemmingway one is great - to be honest that's the only hemmingway one I've read

Me too. Just now.
yes I have to agree it's very good, but it's six words, so it's not the shortest.

Am I being thick becuase I don't get what J26 means - other than a shorter version of your screen name
Think he's just signing each post. Which he doesn't really need to do as we can see exactly who posted it on the left.
But each to their own.
oh right - thought that was his offering.
Looks up the word novel sighs and goes to critique hopefully.
