minus-squarechunes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoI remember reading this one like… 20 years ago. Legendary stuff
minus-square🌞 Alexander Daychilde 🌞@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoThe first time I read it, I got invested in the stupid story and forgot it was a joke and I got to the end and I was delightfully outraged. lol
minus-squarefakeman_pretendname@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoIsn’t that the one that only makes sense if you pronounce a word in a specific weird way?
minus-squareTwinklebreeze @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 month agoNo. It’s a shaggy dog story. Long joke that ends in a dumb bit that ignores all the setup.
minus-squarefakeman_pretendname@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 month agoIt’s both of these things - I had a quick look and scrolled to the bottom. It was the one I was thinking of. The final pun is based on pronouncing “lever” like “levver” instead of “leever”.

minus-squarefakeman_pretendname@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoMaybe popular in some 3rd world colony or something? :P
minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoNah they say it leever in England :P
