i will admit it i read the ending then i was like huh that made no sense at all. Then i read the entire story (but never thought of the ending). Then i was like ohhhhhhh at the ending. Someone should compile all the stories made by TL members and publish a book, I would totally buy it.
Great story, I was totally expecting + Show Spoiler +
Nate to die, Sammy to take over and Jack to become a world leader. Then Jack would run into problems in the world like terrorism and famine.
Problems within the world would cause Jack to go nuts, as even though he has the greatest wisdom in the world, he can not convince everyone.
He would go mad and attempt to pull the lever, Sammy would try to talk him out of it. Sammy is young and lacks as much wisdom as Jack as a result Jack fights Sammy because he is disgruntled at the position Sammy has taken in the argument.
Jack goes into a rage and cuts off Sammy's head. Jack then realizes that he has done wrong and repents. The story then reminds you of how snakes still live while they had their head's cut off. So Jack makes his fourth request and Sammy kills him. Their bodies disappear and the lever is buried.
Who else was expecting the same thing?

Its supposed to be "the longest joke in the world."
I found it incredibly clever when I read it last. Thanks for posting.

to find the ending to be just a punchline was rather disappointing

I wasn't expecting anything remotely close to that tbh LOL.
+ Show Spoiler +I just thought he'd kill Nate and then feel awful about it LOL. I didn't even realize that the whole thing was a joke until the end and I was like wait... wait... NO PROFOUND ENDING!?

That's the first time I've seen it. Surprised how long I spent on it, but it was a pretty good read.

nah, if you have people who are willing to listen I bet that it's a pretty good retelling. The problem would be that I def. don't have the amount of time to tell a story this intricate to anyone.

We gotta bump up more epic stories 
|
What a tragically moving and beautiful story.
+ Show Spoiler +Seriously though, I literally laughed until I had tears in my eyes. a cheesy pun was the last thing I expected from the ending.
|
Great story. I fully enjoyed reading it.
|
Is there a name for this story, that doesn't.. give it away ?
|
interesting story. grats on 1000 posts!
|
I just had to say I enjoyed reading this story so much. It was really interesting and the ending was so unexpected. I must say I thought/hoped for a deeper ending, but it was all good either way =]
