Here's a pretty funny joke I just read:
There was this writer who became critically acclaimed for his short stories. He was offered to do a lecture series at various college campuses.
Well, he was suffering from a severe hang-over on one of the days he was supposed to lecture. So he decided to just give them a written assignment so he could rest while they work-
"Alright, today we're going to do something different. You're going to write a short story.
-A great short story has 4 key elements. First, it mentions nobility, second, it mentions religion. Third, it involves or alludes to sex. And all great short stories have some sort of air of mystery to them. I want you to think about this as do the assignment."
He sits down, and gloats about how clever he is for a few minutes when a student walks up to his desk and slams their paper down.
He looks over the paper-

pregnant. I wonder
whodunit?"
