  this is a long one, because he keeps breaking the fourth wall to explain to the audience why he keeps screwing it up. But eventually he gets to the punchline, and it is funny

I don't know if I am is the shortest sentence in the English language or not. But I read years ago that I am is the shortest verse in the Bible.

"No."

 

While it has no obvious subject and verb when standing alone, it qualifies as a pro-sentence which is a substitute or shortened structure of a complete sentence with the other content implied and derived from context.

Once again my rememberer has let me down.

 

I was sitting there trying to figure out where I AM would be a standalone verse in the Bible.

 

Adam, or Noah, or Abraham asking this figure - are you the Lord God - and the figure replying I AM. But somehow I could not see that happening.

 

So I thought possibly in the New testament. "Are you the Messiah? The son of God?" I AM.

 

But I think you (otto, you moron, I did not say I think you, I said I SEEM TO. Get the damn peanut butter out your ears) remember that Jesus never flat out said that. When Pilate asked him if he was the son of God, he replied "that's what they say I am".

So I couldn't figure where it belonged. And then, suddenly, dredged up out of deep long ago memory, appeared what I actually read was the shortest verse in the Bible.

Jesus wept.

"I am." Isn't a complete verse on the Bible. Significant verses that use the phrase are in Exodus. "I am that I am",  and in the Gospel according to St. John,  Jesus says,  "Before Abraham was, I am." (Interesting construction).

 

Many people restate His answer to Pilate when asked if He was King of the Jews from "Thou sayest it" to "I am."

 

The actual shortest verse is probably Job 3:2, "He said."

My daughter said she wanted to celebrate her birthday like Cinderella.

 

So we all went out to dinner and left her home to clean the house.
