Murder

[jason_t]

A woman's mother dies. At the funeral, she sees a strange man and falls instanly in love with him but doesn't talk with him. A few days later, she kills her sister. Why?

[MelK]

Brother-in-Law and long absent Sister attended funeral.

[quadzilla]

She is insane and thinks that she may see him again at her sister's funeral.

[Michael Davis]

While at the funeral, she and her sister became involved in a detailed conversation on how to best blanch a cucumber. The conversation became an argument, and then a heated argument when the sister brought up Laurence James and the second grade "incident," ending with a minor physical assault that most onlookers attributed to the stress of a mother's death.

You don't bring up Laurence James and live.

-Michael

[oreogod]

Give it up to quad. He got it.

Psycologists question. Got to love them.

[istewart]

oreo, I love your avatar.

[jason_t]

This is the most clever response to this question I've ever heard except it leaves out the role of the strange man.

[Michael Davis]

No, that was the cucumber.

-Michael

[gonores]

My guess would be that she wanted the guy to come to her sister's funeral.

[2planka]

The strange man is the undertaker. She needs an excuse to see him again.

I heard this with coworkers at lunch several years ago. The preface that we were given, true or not, was that every serial killer given the riddle immediately got the right answer.

I heard exactly that too. I find the question inherently interesting, and like listening to others reply, especially with people like Michael Davis replying.

No psychologist would use a question like this, nor have I ever even seen any "experimental" questions like this in my field or schooling. This doesn't give a reflective answer of the true motives/personality

Even so, even if you "thought" like one it doesnt mean you could ever be one. The neurological firing patterns are different from that of a normal person. A general example is that you and a psycho/socio-path are forced to murder someone, to you its a great wrong and very disturbing, to them it is not emotionally disturbing but (unless insane) it is wrong as well, here you BOTH have the same thought patterns but preform/have different actions/reactions with the situation.

There r criminal profilers/pyschologist, etc. who can "think" as they do, which allows us to catch them or better understand them, but this doesn't mean the people who solve these cases or mentally comphrend these people can act in the same manor as thier subjects

<sigh>

Did I say anything about believing the story?

I don't think anyone thinking actually believes the preface.

A word of advice: Decaf.

I don't care what Snopes says, quadzilla, gonores and KilgoreTrout are definitely psychopaths. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

The voices have been telling me the same thing for years.
