I once had a friend who complained that all my other friends came from
twisted families, weren't normal, and that because of this I had a
skewed idea of life.
This particular friend (a great fan of mysteries) had carefully
written her will and distributed it to family members so they would
know there was no point in murdering her, as everything would go to
charity. And yes, she was quite convinced they *would* murder her for
her money.
Of course, perhaps they would.
