While reading the news online... I can across this news story.....
Although obviously murder is not funny.... one wonders what sort of "advice" this man was giving out to people... he was after all.... a counsellor who specialized in "family conflicts!"

Man kills parents over dead cat remark
An East Launceston man accused of the murder of his parents last year has pleaded guilty to the charges in Launceston Supreme Court.
Prosecutor John Ransom told the court that Stephen Alexander Harper, 44, of Abbott St, had been living in a flat behind his parents' home when he committed the crimes on August 30.
Mr Ransom said Harper, a counsellor who specialised in family conflict, had snapped when his parents laughed at him over the death of his cat, and had repeatedly hit them both over the head with an axe.
The case has been adjourned until the end of August for sentencing.
