Here goes a lateral thinking puzzle which will force you to think laterally:
As all women, the one in question also came home after a long day`s work at office. Since it was evening…and dark out side…she switched on the light in her living room.
She was horrified…completely horrified…to see the remains of her husband on the newly bought carpet. He had committed suicide.
Ignoring what had happened; the woman had a cup of tea and went about her housework. She didn`t phone for medical assistance or police help. Why not?
He/she who can answer this question correctly will win a glossy, signed, life-size poster of the World`s most misunderstood genius – Mr Jammy. Why misunderstood? Because nobody thinks I am a genius.

Maybe the “remains” were just that – remains aka. Ashes.
So if the ashes were kept in an urn and the urn had tubmed over spilling the ashes all over the carpet, then the right thing for her to do is to “go about doing her housework”.
Voila!
And thanks, but no thanks, no need for the photograph..but generous of you to offer tho’:-)
Arun has got the answer already
and so here I go
Poop remains?
He committed suicide years ago…
O misunderstood genius, I understand the last line is Calvin’s and not Mr Jammy’s 😉
What i belie its the remains here is talked bout are his cloths and shoes which every man leave in the drawing room. and its the wife’s thought that he by doing this on her new carpet he has committed suicide. so goes on with her daily chores 🙂
The lady saw only the remains of her husband. Not the husband’s dead body. The husband might have got killed himself killed himself earlier.
Hi Jammy,
I know the answer but I won’t say because I don’t want the poster!
Cheers,
Salil
Well.. unlike Salil, I WANT THE POSTER, even if i dont know the answer! 😉

Cause when she went close, she realized that it wasn’t her husband. It was the man she killed yesterday and forgot to dispose his body away. She had a bad memory.
I thought, “She” and “her” were two different people. She being she and “her” being the girl / woman in her favourite Television serial which was on when “she” entered the house.
