This is a one of a kind joke that rewards the time commitment given to reading it; as such, it's kind of a long read.

Please do not spoil the end here, as it has an actual punchline.

What did you think of it?

I upvoted for nostalgia: I remember reading this, getting very invested, and then... the punchline.

What occurs to me now is how much the punchline depends on regional pronunciation. I (Australian) pronounce the last word with longer vowels that remove the obvious pun.
