AI explanation

This is a pun-based joke riddle: 'shorthand' is a real term for a rapid writing system, but taken literally it suggests writing with a 'short hand' — i.e., missing fingers. The humor comes from treating the idiomatic term literally, which is why 'she wanted to write shorthand' is the intended punchline answer rather than a serious motive.
