A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”
The moth says:

“What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I… I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexandria, she fell in the… in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps… perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all… Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good”.

And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on.”

If it was just a couple of paragraphs longer...nobody would have read it!
At least the light is still on somewhere, I'll give you a c+ for effort.😊

I had a close friend who specialized in Shaggy Dog Stories and was a master at telling them - my wife and I still miss him.

I actually like these “jokes” and there’s a very good chance I’ll borrow it…with a few modifications😂

I've listened to a few story jokes like that in the past. I've even repeated them a couple times to others. The best part is seeing the expressions and reactions of the people listening.

A guy walks into a doctor's office and says, "Doc, I feel like I'm turning into a moth."

Doctor says, "I'm just a family doctor; you need to see a psychologist."

Man says, "I was on my way to see a psychologist but then I noticed your light was on."
