I think it was Hillaire Belloc that won a short story compo in a newspaper - with'FOR SALE: one pair of baby's bootees. Unused.'
It's been riffed on ever since - eg League Of Gentlemen.
This pic is dark. But similarly clever.
Not so much funny, tho.

Some spanish novellist whose name I forget......came up with:
"When he woke up, the dinosaur was still there".
Which is much recommended by Umberto Eco for its style and brevity.
