My wifes deductions

[pinkmoon]

update

Mother in law told me this afternoon that jack the ripper was dead because it was a long time ago ....so ends the mystery I will never mention this subject to my wife or mother in law again I promise

Your wife's deduction compares favorably to the quite serious scenarios of Jill the Ripper and "Jack the Myth" advanced here. One man. And with a knife. That he owned. Well done!

[kensei]

Hey, he could have stolen the knife! And, for that matter, the hat.

[crberger]

Or borrowed the knife and hat and the beard...

BTW, Wickerman, the room you were offering?
Does that cost 4d a night?

[louisa]

Or.....it could have been a woman with a knife.

[Wickerman]

BTW, Wickerman, the room you were offering?

Yes, I think we have a room, a little worse for wear.
The windows are all cracked, and the floorboards are all bare.

But, the room comes fully furnished, though I couldn't charge for that.
'Cause there's dust & cobwebs everywhere, as well as one dead cat.

And one last thing that slipped my mind, I know I should have said.
The last known tenant never left,....his body's on the bed.

doggerel or catteral?

Broken glass and a body on the bed
and lovely decor, all in red
Dead creatures, fabulous cat
It's bloody Vincent, hold on to your hat!

All the best
