A fifty-page long story, to be exact, culminating in the one-sentence punchline at the end. I read it yesterday and it took me 27 minutes. My brother sent it to me. I'd read it before, a while ago, but I still very much enjoyed it this time too. It's kind of like a novella, we decided. It fits my brother's sense of humor quite well, and I guess sort of mine as well. I hope that you, my readers, might read it also. My expectation is that many of you will click on the link below. Then I think that most of you will either never start reading it or quit part-way through cause it's too long. But I'm hoping a few will stick it through to the end. And I can just about guarantee that you will get to the end, read the punchline, and wonder exactly why you just wasted the last twenty-seven minutes of your life. You may hate me for a second. I'm okay with that. I felt like that when I first read it as well. But that's part of the joke. That's part of why it's funny. So please. Do me a favor. Read it? I dare you.
If you read it, I would like to get your reaction in the form of comments. But please DO NOT post the punchline in your comment. If you do, I PROMISE that I will delete your post. I don't want lazy readers getting the benefit of the end without reading the whole story.
Here is the link.

I read it. I don't really regret it. But I did feel like my grandpa was telling it at the end. Very corny.
Haha! I read it and I thought it was a little funny but still- not that much to crack up about, right? So I sent it to a friend and made her read it (and told her when she could skip parts while she was reading it out loud- why was she reading it out loud? For fun I guess. I don't know)and I kept laughing as she was reading (it was much funnier the second time around- all that anticipation mounting...) and when she got to the end I just burst out laughing and couldn't stop and she looked at me... and she just couldn't BELIEVE how it ended. It was so much fun to make her read it though... thank you!

I read it. I don't hate you. I do question the point of it...who would take the time to write all of that, just to tack on the ending? It sounds like something from a high school creative writing class, or something.
I read it. I may hate you.
