The Plot Twist Therapist

A mystery writer started seeing a therapist. After three sessions, the therapist said, 'I think I understand your childhood trauma now.' The writer nodded gravely, then added, 'But do you? Because everything I told you about my mother was actually about my father, my childhood dog was a metaphor for capitalism, and I've been dead the whole time.' The therapist sighed. 'This is why your health insurance dropped you, isn't it?' 'Plot twist,' the writer whispered, 'I AM the health insurance.'
