There is, in the annals of our traditions, a saying that, shall we say, for the most part, drives home the point that the more we, as humans, incline ourselves to keep our delivery of the language to a minimum, the more our perceived intelligence increases in the mind of others. Said sayings are the essence of funniness and cleverness as long as they adhere to the principle that shorter is better. Quips are droll. As long as the proverb, adage, maxim, axiom, motto, aphorism and/or saying is tiny, petite, stunted, brief, diminutive, & undersized, then it will be considered in good standing at the core as being comical, amusing and/or humorous.

i.e. brevity is the soul of wit.
