certifiably crazy?

i was on the way home from work when the radio started a riddle. apparently if you came up with the correct answer, you gave the same response as a psychopath. guess who came up with it right away? yup. that does one on the ego for you. here you go, give it a try:

A woman goes to her mother's funeral. There she meets the man of her dreams. She can tell from the first moment that they will spend the rest of their lives together. Unfortunately, she fails to get his name, phone number or any other contact info from him. So they go their separate ways. 3 days later she kills her sister.
Why did she kill her sister?

I'd love to hear if you get it right :)

It seems that JJ's involvement in the funeral business gives you an unfair advantage in this riddle! :-)

I'd guess that the man she met was the funeral director or the minister. not sure why she wouldn't just swing by, though, instead of killing the sister. unless the sister's husband is the man of her dreams.

Like how I just type my thoughts instead of thinking it through before I type? Hehe.

Shell shell, I can't believe you thought of the answer. I won't say it in case people are thinking it through... I know the answer, but my original answer was that the guy was the sister's boyfriend or husband, even though that would be weird that this woman wouldn't have "caught his name". Don't worry, you're not crazy. :) But I think it's great that you got the answer. Maybe you could be a psychoanalyst or something!
