I saw this on the net and knew it HAD to be posted here. :P

 

An investigation into a pregnancy.

 

There is an unexpected pregnancy. Miss Pause is pregnant. Yes, we have a pregnant Pause. After an investigation we have found out who the father is. There were a number of suspects, especially among the Punctuation Marks. The chief ones were: Messrs Exclamation Point, Question Mark, Period, Semi Colon, Comma and Full Colon.

 

Exclamation Point was quickly eliminated as a suspect. Although very excited at the prospect of having a baby and being a father. He is way too jumpy for Miss Pause. She said something about de-caff.

 

Question Mark was interrogated for a long time. He was much too evasive and never would give much of an answer to any inquiries. But in the end it was found out that he was at the end of a long sentence A most shift key character.

 

Mr. Period was also eliminated. It was quickly ascertained that when Mr. Period is around, no one gets pregnant. After Mr. Question Mark; Mr. Comma and the two Colon cousins, Mr. Semi Colon and Mr. Full Colon were next on the suspect list.

 

Mr. Comma does have an alibi. He claimed that he was helping out a Mr. Apostrophe in a plural possessions job. It seems that Mr. Comma and Mr. Apostrophe look a lot alike and often help out or substitute for each other.

 

Mr. Semi Colon was investigated next. Actually, both Mr. Semi Colon and Mr. Full Colon had to be investigated together. Apparently they have similar jobs and it is difficult to tell when one or the other is called in to work. After some parsing, Mr. Semi Colon admitted to working on some kind of list and therefore is not the father.

 

That leaves Mr. Full Colon. Mr. Full Colon has long been a friend of the entire Pause family. He asked Miss Pause to marry him and she agreed. The ceremony is to be performed by Reverend Ampersand and the happy couple will be living in Parentheses after a honeymoon in Apostrophe.

 

Case closed.
