It's only page 15 if you have your settings at default. I'm reading this on page 5.
 
Not an unnecessary bump but a legit question: anyone know the origin/author of this story? My friends and I call it 'Nate and the Lever of Doom' (yeah, I forwarded it to everyone I know😛). I'd really like to check out the author's other works. I just tried to look it up but found nothing.
 
I think that's a bit like asking who the first Nigerian scammer was :laugh: I tried finding its origins a couple months ago, but all I could find was that it was posted and forwarded all over the internet a few years ago, no word on where it actually came from, not that I could find anyway.
 
Cliffs:

Really long drawn out story with lots of unneeded desciptions and weird situations to build you up, then a stupid pun at the end to close it all.

It's a classic "build you up and you laugh because the end is a sham" story 🙂
 
It was a great read I read it long ago all of u sayin "2 long 2 reed zomg" GTFO and go to skool where they be teachin u how to read,

Ok I must've been on crack when I wrote that because I don't remember reading anymore than the first paragraph. I read the joke in its entirety and I have to say it's an INEFFICIENT JOKE.

I was actually a bit annoyed that I spent a good chunk of the last hour reading this. Then I said the nate than lever sentence out loud and I started cracking up... Hah. Oh gosh.

This was a well written story, but seriously, what the hell. If that's all I get from the ending you should be punished OP.
 
I saw this thread title and thought to myself that it wasn't going to be better than the "Better Nate than Lever" joke I read a couple of years ago...

I can't believe this thread was bumped.
