Jones, Jr. and Sr. Mystery in a Family Death Riddle
A witty delegation questions a chairman about two men named John Jones who died in the same house. The spokesman argues the father and son are distinct “John Jones Sr.” and “John Jones Jr.”, prompting a debate over how to refer to them. The exchange ends with one side claiming the senior died downstairs and the junior upstairs, so the younger died after the elder, a reasoning that the editor dismisses as technical yet conclusive in this absurd puzzle from a humor page.
