I thought this was funny, it's one of the world's shortest screenplay contest winners:

A Madrasi (resident of Madras India) happened to participate in a competition, which was about writing a shortest story.

The organizers had put a condition that a story must have four ingredients viz. religion, sex, suspense and mystery.

Madrasi's turn came after many attempts by others. Madrasi gave a story, which was just one sentence and read:

"O God, my wife is going to deliver a child".

Ostensibly amused, the organizers asked the Madrasi whether it contained all the four ingredients. Madrasi replied affirmatively and gave his explanation as below:

O God: religion

my wife: sex

going to deliver a child: suspense (whether a girl or a boy)

But where is mystery?' asked one of the organizers.
The Madrasi replied: "Who is the father?"

Re: "...world's shortest screenplay..."

Seems I heard that Isaac Assimov once wrote the shortest Sci-Fi story:

The last man on Earth heard a knock at the door.

Or something to that effect...

Gad! Did Hollywood ever trash Assimov's I Robot!
