Once, there was a boy who loved to read. He read everything he could get his hands on, and loved going to his favorite book store. One day, the boy realized he had read everything the store had to offer. He confronted the owner, and asked him if he had anything the boy had never checked out. The owner said why, yes, I do, and pulled out a book called “Death”. He gladly sold it to the boy at a discounted price of 50$.
However, he warned the boy, never to read the front page. Well, the boy returned to his house and read the book, and he was content. However, he always wondered, what could be on that front page, it was always in the back of his mind. One day, the temptation was too much for the boy, and he flipped to the very front of the book, and dropped the book in HORROR.
There, in bold print, was MSRP $7.99

First creepypasta to make me laugh. XD
That’s not even fair. The boy bought 1 of each of his books for probably over $200, and he rips him off like that?
Haha I was so scared I thought that there was going to be a terrifying picture or something. It`s hilarious.

Hahaha >.< I gotta admit that was pretty funny. Great trollpasta.
I no, that should be funny, but beside the fact that I already knew the joke, this is not the plattform for some jokes. What made this one funny is that you expect something scary, but overall…
