i can remember my parents saying they were thinking of moving house and asking me where i wanted to live. i said i didnt mind as long as it wasn't earnest. baffled by this answer they asked me why. so i told them that lots of people get murdered there and i would be too scared to sleep. they still didn't understand so i explained how on the news murder enquiries always begin in earnest!
