Pickles by Brian Crane for February 12, 2025

My wife’s uncle was convinced that the longest sentence was “I do”.

I said, to no one there, and no one heard at all, not even the chair.

Huh.

Hah!

I would have said “Yup”.

Nice one, Clyde!

Nice one, Clyde!

I do

No.

Amazing logic?

No.

I thought the shortest sentence in the English language was “no”.

President Calvin Coolidge was a man of few words. It’s said that on visiting the White House, one visitor told the President that he’d made a bet with the other visitor that he could get “Silent Cal” to say more than two words.

“You lose.” , said the President.

And ," Jesus wept, " is the shortest verse in The Bible.

Maybe Dwarf is one of the shortest words ? Ask Snow White I guess!

No.

“No” is a complete sentence.

The shortest sentence? Time off with good behavior.

And the shortest poem might be, “Fleas” — “Adam Had’em.”

Who’s there? —Me—

Go! is the shortest sentence. The subject is the understood you.

O!

My wife’s husband agrees.

The shortest sentence should have been “No.” by Clyde in the first panel. That would have been shorter than either “I am.” or “I’m.”

I would have answered, “No.”

The shortest sentence is “Go” but I do not see any comic potential in that.

The response should not have been “I’m” but “No”. “I’m” has the same number of characters, it is only lacking the space. “No” has fewer characters.

The shortest complete sentence in the English language is “Go.”

I am seems right but I’m doesn’t. That’s weird.

Earl, go for a walk….

Am I impressed? No.

Gotcha Earl……..

My wife usually says “so”

Am I?

Wouldn’t it be a pirate saying “I”?

Am I impressed ? No

Shortest story ever, by Papa Hemingway, “For sale: baby shoes, never worn”.

In my opinion it is “No”.

It’s?

“Go.”

He could have answered “No.”

No.

I am a rock. I am an i-i-island.

The longest sentence in the English language is “I do.”

No contractions allowed.

I’m pretty sure it’s “No!”

A sentence requires a subject and a verb, except when it’s a command, since the “you” is implied. So, “Go!” is the shortest sentence.
