I'm working on a case where the clients name is Sherwin Williams. He said he was at the Butcher...Odd, I would have thought the paint store.

One of my suspects with a fake alibi was named Ben Ringold.

I had a suspect named Quincy Jones - I guess since Michael Jackson owes so much money to Sony records, Quincy was gunning for the inheritance.

My first case, 5 suspects, only 2 fake alibies, one gets killed. Hmmmm. That was easy!

I got a case today where there were 4 threatening notes at the crime scene. Talk about a dead man walking . . .

Jesus, that guy must have been good at pissing people off!

Had one yesterday where the client was called Ruby Kinsella - not a big surpirse that she claimed to have been at the bank at the time of the murder, and even less of a surprise that Ruby Kinsella of course said yes Ruby Kinsella was here the whole time :D

I tend to play Sleuth while on conference calls. Basically I do a bunch of hand holding, and only jump in when one of my managers needs help.

The show of senior support that I am, I actually was not listening to the conference call at all, all concentrated on the more important things in life, like winning a favour. Even when they apparently broke out in a fight, I did not hear. I woke up, when one of the project managers yelled out my name..."Hey, who do you suspect did that?"

To which I blurted out "it may have been Sheelah or Dorothy."

For a while everybody sound puzzled on the phone, silence. And then I realized what they must have thought...."who the hell are Dorothy and Sheelah?????"

What about this:

[The Mind-Boggling Case of the Unknown Force]

I was taking a study break with some friends this week when I decided to tickle one of them, to relieve the stress level of the room. Naturally, revenge was expected, so I ran into my room then tried to close the door behind me.

Unfortunately, there was an equal and opposite force and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the door shut. Desperate and at my wit's end, I tried to peep through the crack in the door.

To my horror (!!), I couldn't see anyone outside! Curiosity finally got the better of me and I opened the door to investigate. No one was in sight! Apparently, I was the only childish person in the study group.

'Fine deduction, Diane. But then, how do you explain the pushing against the other side of the door?' I asked myself.

I looked down: A single stuffed toy had come between the door and its frame, jamming the attempted closure.

It was indeed an equal and opposite force. My own.
