“Which cheese festival is the shortest?”/“The Brie Fest.”

The word “briefest” has nothing to do with a cheese festival (brie fest), but there are jokes.

Wikipedia: Brie
Brie (/briː/; French: [bʁi]) is a soft cow’s-milk cheese named after Brie, the French region from which it originated (roughly corresponding to the modern département of Seine-et-Marne). It is pale in color with a slight grayish tinge under a rind of white mould. The rind is typically eaten, with its flavor depending largely upon the ingredients used and its manufacturing environment.

I went to a very short cheese festival the other day. It was the briefest brie fest I’ve ever been to.
