Are you twisted?

[wishfulthinking]

I was recently asked this, and it has really played with my mind. I found out I was psycho.

This is the question to determine whether you are twisted or not:

A woman recently attended her mother's funeral and saw the man of her dreams, but she didn't get a chance to meet him. 3 months later she killed her sister.

Why?

Now scroll down to see if you are sane or psycho...






















Sane - the man was married to or the boyfriend of the sister.


Pyscho - She thought the only way to meet the man again was at a funeral, as he obviously new the family.


For those that couldn't think of a reason, well...


Or did you think of something else?

 

[Black Tulip]

Possibly sane.

I thought the sister was quicker than her and grabbed the man first.

 

[TheEarl]

Oh dear. Oh dearie dearie me. Well, let's just hope I don't want to pull at a funeral shall we?

Mad? They dare call me, mad? Me who has discovered the very secrets of the universe? One day the whole world will know my name! Mwahahahaha!

Ahem.

I don't think it's very sane to murder someone to have a chance at that person's signifigant other. Maybe I am mercenary but I said that it had to do with the inheriting from mom.

Psycho: I reasoned it must've been the Vicar.

 

[pop_54]

Hmmmmm

Hmm guess I'm a freekin psycho then. Always knew that really though.

 

[BardsLady]

I'm sane, but I couldn't help, after reading the two answers, thinking about a third option for the whole mess.

Man of her dreams was responsible for murdering the Mom and it was the woman's sister that paid the guy to do it.

Maybe I am a little twisted.

Naahhh.. I'm bent like a pretzle.

 

[gauchecritic]

Don't know about twisted but I have an interesting plot bunny. She was a conjoined twin.

Gauche

 

[A7inchPhildo]

Give me a break! I thought for sure the sister was a transvestite. Dressed as the man of her dreams.

Not twisted maybe a little wry, not twisted.

 

[Xelebes]

First thought "She wasn't her sister and she killed her anyways."

Dunno what that makes me.

 

[damppanties]

I made up a long, crazy story with numerous twists and turns which would confuse you like hell if you managed to get inside my head.

What does that make me?

A writer.

 

[Guest]

It was the butler . . .

A transvestite (who looked quite good in dresses, actually) who was lurking around during the funeral.

Lurking!

I couldn't help but be interested in this dark character (even though I am hopelessly hetero) and to my surprise we began a torrid and temptuous love affair.

Alas, it was not to be (think Crying Game in reverse). When I discovered the secret, I attempted to shoot the asshole and hit my sister.

Oops.

 

[raphy]

I don't think I came up with an answer....

 

[sweetnpetite]

I'm not sure that I understand the reasoning. Could it be explained or is it something we are just supposed to accept for the sake of a joke?

 

[wishfulthinking]

See, I think the question is nutso, not me.

I do like Bardslady's take,

"Man of her dreams was responsible for murdering the Mom and it was the woman's sister that paid the guy to do it."

but if that was the case, I'd kill the bastard also. You love him then he betrays you...

I was told that you were sane if you thought of the first answer, but really, only if you couldn't explain or rationalise the behaviour, then this would show true sanity (or faith in human nature or something). Good news raphy!

 

[wishfulthinking]

Opps, sorry sweetnpetite.

A lot (90%) of people simply jump to the conclusion (apparently not the people on lit) that the sister is having a relationship with this guy. But why do we assume this, try to humanise her behaviour by giving her a motive for killing? Why not some random act?

As to it being the only way of seeing the guy again (which is what I thought), hasn't anyone heard of asking someone else at the funeral? Checking the invite list? Using the yellow pages?

The basic reasoning (I guess!) behind the question is how your mind works. Maybe other people see this different to me, I don't know.

 

[raphy]

...or faith in human nature or something). Good news raphy!

Sometimes I think I have entirely too much of that...

 

[Guest]

Nah, hon, you can't have too much. But I'd recommend fixing some of the leaks.

Killing the Sister

I still think the woman killed her sister because Mom had left the bulk of her estate to the sister, who was the favored one. By killing the sister, who was unmarried and intestate, the woman ended up inheriting all or most of her mother's estate. Man of her dreams was strictly a red herring in the question. and had nothing to do with anything except that the woman may now be in a better position to put a move on him. If he shows up at sister's funeral, that may give her a good opportunity but that was not her primary reason for murder.

See! It screws with your mind!!

Given the same set of facts, we all put a different spin on it.

What about she just killed her sister because she pissed her off one to many times, and the guy had nothing to do with it? Why does it have to revolve around the guy?

In my solution, the guy had nothing major to do with it. With Mom and Sis gone, the woman (name unknown?) is now in a better position to get next to him but the inheritance was the main reason and she would have offed Sis even if the Man of Her Dreams hadn't been at Mom's funeral.

 

[wishfulthinking]

Yeah Bl, maybe even now these two name unknowns are sipping cocktails on a deserted island, living off of her inheritance. But (always a twist), the sisters are cojoined twins (gauche), and he thinks she is the other one... But the sister is really her transvestite brother (phildo, sweetS), and the man of her dreams could be a raving homo (still in the closet), and she thought she was doing him a favour in the name of love.


SweetS, I'd be very interested to read it, if you ever wrote this "dark story" how you saw it.


PS I will get to 100 posts if it kills me - out of sheer vanity of course, because I want a pretty picture

I think it probably says more about the society we live in than individual screwiness.

Everyone that answered (myself included) took for granted that killing someone was an everyday solution to a trivial problem.

I say the system is screwed.

I don't think anybody thought of it as an everyday solution but since it was postulated, we went with it. We all know that it does happen sometimes.
