The Footnote's Existential Crisis

A footnote in an academic paper started seeing a psychiatrist. 'I feel so marginalized,' it sobbed. 'I contain the most fascinating information in the entire document, yet I'm literally pushed to the bottom of the page in tiny font. Meanwhile, the main text just rambles on about methodology!' The psychiatrist nodded sympathetically, then added a small asterisk next to his diagnosis: '*Patient may be suffering from delusions of relevance.'
