"Brevity Is Best" joke

APPLICANTS for a job asked to appear before an interview board were told that the candidate who gave the briefest reply would be selected. First came a young man from Lucknow. Being a well-bred Lukhnavi, he knocked gently on the door and asked,' Sir, have I Your Honour's permission to come in?'
'Rejected!' replied the Chairman of the Selection Board.
The second was an equally well-bred Tamilian:' May I enter, Sir?' he asked.
'Rejected!' bawled the Chairman of the Board.
The third was a Punjabi. He pushed open the door and asked,' Vadaan?' (Enter?)
'Selected!' replied the Chairman.
