The Molly Moth Joke

Thought I’d post in lieu of a terrible joke I just read on here. Perhaps you’ve heard this, maybe not. Best told in large crowds, the object is to deliver it in such a manner that it keeps going until somebody threatens you with bodily harm if you don’t just skip to the punch line. I once had a beer bottle tossed at me after delivering the punch line at a New Years party. Anyways, it goes like this.

There was a moth, her name was Molly. She was from a tiny little place called Mothville in the country of Mothtopia. She was much smaller than most moths. Nobody paid any attention to her at school. She felt so alone. One day, the teacher announced that they’d be having a cross country race for their school in 2 weeks. Molly was very excited, she knew she was a quick moth. She trained hard, ran everywhere for 2 whole weeks in preparation for the big race.

Race day arrived, and Molly was ready. The moths all filed into the gym. The teacher called Molly’s name, and molly lined up at the start line among all her moth schoolmates. The teacher yelled "Go!".

The little moths ran down the gym, up the wall, back across the ceiling, down the wall, and back across the finish line.

Well guess who won that race, any idea?

(crowd… "Molly?")

That’s right, Molly won the race! Her classmates were very happy for her, in fact she even got friendly with a cute boy moth named Billy and they became boyfriend/girlfriend. Much to her surprise, the teacher announced that because she won the school race, she would progress to an even BIGGER race to represent her school, the Mothville district school board race championship. She was ecstatic!

A little while later, Molly traveled to North Mothville to attend the Mothville school board race event. Everyone was there, even her boyfriend to cheer her on. All of the quickest moths in Mothville lined up at the start line, the teacher yelled "Go!".

The little moths ran down the gym, up the wall, back across the ceiling, down the wall, and back across the finish line.

Well guess who won that race, any idea?

That’s right, MOLLY, the littlest moth in all of Mothville won the big race! Everyone was happy for her, she’d hever had so much attention before. Much to her surprise, the teacher announced that because she won the Mothville distric school race, she would progress to a MUCH begger race, the MOTHTOPIAN race being held in a city far, far away called Wing City. Molly was happy, but upset that she’d have to leave her friends to go to the big race. Nevertheless, she trained hard and a little while later, travelled far, far away to Wing city and represented Mothville at the Mothtopian championships in Wing City. This time, she was alone and only a few dedicated Mothville specatators, including her boyfriend, were there to cheer her on. All of the fastest moths in Mothtopia lined up at the start line, the teacher yelled "Go!".

The little moths ran down the gym, up the wall, back across the ceiling, down the wall, and back across the finish line.

That’s right, MOLLY, the littlest, tiniest, most smallest moth in all of Mothville won the Mothtpia championship race! Much to her surprise, the president of Mothtopia approached her after the race and asked her to represent Mothtopia in the Moth International Race event being held in Zurgen. Molly could hardly believe it! She gladly accepted. A little while later, Molly travelled far, far away to Zurgan and represented Mothtopia at the Moth International race championships in Zurgen. All of the fastest moths from all around the Moth world lined up at the start line, the teacher yelled "Go!".

The little moths ran down the gym, up the wall, back across the ceiling, down the wall, and back across the finish line.

Well guess who won that race, any idea?

Molly won the race! She was now an Internationally decorated racing star, the littlest moth from Mothville who was making big news on the racing circuit. She got so much attention as a result of her big win, that the presiding master of the Moth world asked Molly to represent their Wolrd at the inter-galactic Mothnation races being held in Borgstein which was far, far away. Molly accepted without hesitation! A little while later, Molly travelled far, far away to Borgstein and represented Moth world at the intergalactic race championships. All of the fastest moths from all around the galaxy lined up at the start line, the teacher yelled "Go!".

The little moths ran down the gym, up the wall, back across the ceiling, down the wall, and back across the finish line.

*** Usually, the people unfortunate enough to be listening to this will be hurling insults and threatening you at this point, so best deliver the punch line… ***

Molly won the race! She was now an Intergalactically decorated racing star. Because of her serious dedication to her racing, the all knowing zen master of the galaxy rewarded Molly by hosting the next, intra-universe galactic race in her home town of Mothville. She was soooooooo excited to be able to get home, race in front of her friends and family and of course, see her boyfriend Billy who would be waiting for her. She arrived back in Mothville and lined up at the start line, the teacher yelled "Go!". Molly looked up and saw Billy in the crowd, holding hands with a BEAUTIFUL Butterfly, they were obviously dating. She was deflated! She lost the race, and was traumatized over what Billy had done to her… right there, at the end of the race, she broke down.

wait for it………..

wait for it…….

Now let me ask you, have you ever seen a Moth ball?
