You hear strange noises in the basement of the creepy old house you’re staying in, so you grab a flashlight and slowly walk down the stairs to investigate. ---

You have a nose bleed. Exception: If you then try to stop it by putting some ridiculous object against your nose, you’re in a comedy and you’re safe. ---

They never even give the investigator a _hint_ on the phone. You think you know who might be the killer, and decide to confront them (or go to their house/place or business to check for evidence) without telling anyone. (Yes, I watch a lot of Hallmark Mystery movies) ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > You’re a woman and you throw up. If you’re of childbearing age, yup. If you’re postmenopausal, you’ve probably been poisoned. If you’re a man and have a pain in your left arm, you’re having a heart attack. There’s never any other reason. If you have a cough, and it’s prior to ~1900: TB. After 1900 and in a mid-Atlantic state or Wales: black lung disease. Mid 20th century to the present: lung cancer. No one on TV or in a movie ever coughs just _because_. ---

You are the only person in the room who got along with the dead guy everyone else hated. The guy whose alibi is that he was home alone watching TV, and fell asleep, so he can’t remember what show was on, has already been arrested and subjected to a grueling interrogation by Elliot Stabler, and now his aunt, Jessica Fletcher, has hired Perry Mason to defend him. ---
