Spoken by Norm Macdonald
“Because the light was on.”
Single moth
Norm Macdonald in Norm Macdonald: A moth gives a podiatrist a long account of despair. The podiatrist observes that these problems call for a different kind of doctor and asks why the moth came here. The punchline abruptly replaces the psychological explanation with ordinary insect attraction to a lit place. Norm's own interview corroborates the short punchline and its extended delivery. No literal office arrangement is established. A lone moth beneath a hanging lamp, its golden cone of light breaking into a dark field beside cream serif lettering.
