Read this question, come up with an answer, and then scroll down to the
bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did
not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she
believed him to be just that! She fell in love with him right there, but
never asked for his number and could not find him afterward. A few days
later, she killed her sister.

Question:  What is her motive in killing her sister?

(give this some thought before you answer, then scroll down)

Answer:

She was hoping that the guy come to this funeral, also.

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath.

This was a question used by a famous American Psychologist to test if one
has the same mentality as a killer. Convicted serial killers were given this
test and many answered the question correctly.

If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you.

If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you off my
email list, unless that will tick you off, then I'll just be extra nice to
you.

Have a nice day, or not, whichever you prefer . . .

Just please don't hurt me.

I've seen this on another board. Most people answered that he'd been involved with her sister or something. And on that forum the person said it was a sociopathic thought tendency. I think I've watched too many episodes of Law & Order to be able to come up with just one answer.

I've heard this from many others. What's going to happen to me when a Psychologist asks me and I answer it correctly because I've heard it so much?

Pretty cool to think about, but....

"a famous American Psychologist"

riiiiiight. And if he was famous... what's his name?

This would have been cooler if they hadn't done a crap job trying to legitimize the idea without any reall facts.

Skar, I find that last bit about "Please don't hurt me" odd coming from you.

In any case, I thought she did it for fun. I mean what else to do when you're bored?

Yes, normally a masochist would say the opposite.  I don't know what came over me.

Truly.  The only other option I can come up with is a good old razorblade and saltwater bath.  And that's not for everybody.

 Always look at the bright side
"A general authority received a hand-made get well card while recovering from bypass surgery. On the front of the card, the child, a second-grader, had drawn a rectangular black box representing a coffin, with a flower poking out of the center. Inside he had printed in big letters, 'Hope you get well soon, but, if not, have fun.'"--March 2000 Ensign

A man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman hit the roof -- and the horn -- and screamed in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection on his tail.

She was still in mid-rant when she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell.

After a couple of hours, a jailer approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

"I'm very sorry for the mistake," he tells her. "You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him.

"I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do?' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. So naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."

So, heard this on the radio today (Thank you Chunga & Mister.)


Why can't they do the nativity play at the University of Utah?



They can't find three wise men and a virgin.
