A jewel thief left behind a calling card at every crime scene: a playing card with a needle poked through the center of the diamond suit. Detective Cross suspected the local tailor, the local seamstress, the local carpenter, and the local baker. Cross arrested the tailor within minutes. What gave the tailor away?
The tailor
The tailor works with needles and fabric daily, but wait—the needle was poked through the *diamond* suit, making it a tailored calling card. Actually, tailors use needles, but so do seamstresses. The clue is that a tailor specializes in men's suits, matching the diamond suit pun.
