My mother believes she can sing. Even though she's actually about a 
fifth to a third flat. The result sounds truly *horrible*! You'd think 
she could hear the difference, but no...

She also claims to be unable to tell the difference between major and 
minor chords, which is impressive given the vast, world-alering 
difference between the two.
