It is a brilliant joke. Glad I read it 3 years ago so I don't have to read it today.

This joke has been around for years and is an example of a shaggy dog story. Still good though

[HamburgerBoy]

Did you actually write it? Some quick Googling shows this thread as the earliest post of this joke I can find.

[BudAshes]

Yes

[Printer Bandit]

i'm surprised someone hasn't published this as a book / short story and profited off of it.

Jesus. I finally read it... knowing the punchline, but jeez that was one hell of a build up. It only got me a grin too.

What is supposed to be so funny about it anyway?

How long did it take you to read it just to get that punchline?

Yeah... THAT'S why it's funny.

Wait, what? Because it was a ten thousand word story, it's supposed to be funny when the punchline is that?

Not seeing it.

On top of the humor of making people read the whole thing for a cheezy punchline, it's a pretty good story, joke aside. It's brilliant, and one of the best jokes I've ever read.

Ok classic example of the long joke with a simple pun punchline. Just that this version takes it beyond the point of tolerance. I started speed reading it after the first page and still was disappointed with the pun at the end.
