THE WORLD’S SHORTEST EMAIL — by Steve Nadis

There’s a new trend in email I didn’t know about before. Last night I got an email from a friend that said “Zohan?” in the subject line, with nothing in the main body of the text. I told him it sounded like a good idea (us seeing the movie) and that I’d get back to him. I also mentioned that that was the shortest email I’d ever received. He did one better, replying with the word “OK” in the subject line and not a word in the main text.

    This is great, GM. I love it. Think it’s great. But I just don’t get it. –S

  4. There was a movie, back the early 70s (comedy starring Streisand, I believe) of that name. I remembered it from when I was a kid. Basically, the idea of my comment was, what if your friend asks you to see a movie with a title that’s a question…But now that I’ve explained it, it’s not so funny. They say that’s why theologians don’t believe in God–explain something and you take away the punch.

    A nice enough quote though its relevance escapes me… –S

    Not to short e-mails, but to the original e-mail Subject: line.
    It’s apparently another 1 of Adam’s underwhelming comedy attempts. C’est tout.
