This was a hilarious example:

...........................

A man wants to commit suicide but does not want to cause his family any 
grief. He finds out about an elixir he can take which will kill him, i.e., 
separate his soul from his body, but leave his body intact to wake up, go 
to work, play with the kids, keep the wife satisfied and bring home the 
bacon. But before he takes the elixir, a well-intentioned friend sneaks in 
during the night and injects his suicidal friend with the stuff, thereby 
killing him, i.e., releasing his soul. The man wakes up and doesn't know 
he's dead (i.e., that he has no soul), so he takes the elixir. He can't 
kill himself, since he's already dead. But he thinks he can kill himself 
and become a p-zombie. However, he is already a p-zombie. Question: if the 
p-zombie can't tell the difference between a real person and a p-zombie, 
why would we think that we real persons could tell the difference?
