Cassandra wanted to see the guy again, and she thought that he would come if they had another smith's funeral.
edit: I didn't bother to read through the other responses before I posted, and found out later that the answer had been given. I've heard of this "test" before. Apparently, my friend was in a Psychology class and the professor posed this similar question:
"A man goes to his mother's funeral. There he notices a man, who seems familiar, but in his mind, can't quite remember who he is. Over the next few months, he starts dreaming of murdering his father. Why?"
The professor offered an A (for the semester) to whoever got the question right. One girl did respond correctly, that the son wanted to know who the man at the funeral was, and the professor gave her an A for the semester. Of course, he also made her promise to go to see therapist, because surely, the only person who thinks like that must be a psychopath.
But, here's another question, one you may or may not have heard before. If you know it because you heard it before, please don't ruin it for others.
A boy is brought into a hospital by his father. He is severely injured. When he brings the boy to the doctor, the doctor responds, "I'm sorry. I can't operate on him. He's my son."
How could this be?
Enjoy
