Brevity is the soul of wit - it takes one to know one!
The premise is simple, various authors and other famous figures were asked to write stories of a length of exactly 6 words.
Some of them are pretty clever.
For example:
"Epitaph: Foolish humans, never escaped Earth" - Vernor Vinge
"Kirby had never eaten toes before" - Kevin Smith
"The baby's blood type? Human, mostly" - Orson Scott Card
Anyway, here are some I think were left out:
"Somebody set us up, the bomb!" - (bad translation)
"Author: Paid by the word? Doh!" - me
"A bad vocabulary is very... bad" - me
"Gilligan: Three Hour Tour? Yeah right!" - me
Yes, the quote at the top (adapted from the Simpsons) is actually a story, and its sequel.*
Does anyone know of any other stories that should have been included?
* Yes, I know that the actual exchange between Lisa and Homer has a different line from Lisa that prompts Homer to reply, "it takes one to know one", but what Lisa actually says is along the same lines. (or close lines)
