    A wealthy man lives alone in a small cottage. Because he was handicapped he had everything delivered to his cottage.

    The mailman was delivering a letter on Thursday when he noticed that the front door was ajar. Through the opening, he could see the man’s body lying in a pool of dried blood.

    On the porch were 2 bottles of milk, Monday’s newspaper, a catalog, flyers, and unopened mail.

    When Sherlock Holmes got to the cottage he told the police the killer was [..............] . How did he know?

    A catalog on the porch -------- sounds like the Sears Catalog.
