Ultra Short Joke - 2 words!

I can't leave the subject of short jokes without sharing the shortest joke I have come across.

It's two words really.

And it's not an oxymoron. So nothing like "trustworthy politician" or "honest banker". It's more nuanced that that.

I first saw it on Fawlty Towers.

The idea as I recall is that we arrive on a scene where a guy is midway through the joke. I think he uses the following preamble for the two-word joke: "so she says..."

And the joke itself is:

"Pretentious? Moi?"

Genius. And two words is going to be hard to beat!
