ahem, from page 15

What's with "DBest joke ever."? Seems the DrPizza made a little goof-up when he edited the OP

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

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.
