“My grandad committed suicide by eating the entire 88 keys on a piano. He didn’t leave a note”

A piano pun was posted on Reddit—Jokes on September 23, 2019:

“My grandad committed suicide by eating the entire 88 keys on a piano. He didn’t leave a note,”

The joke is that it could be a suicide note or a musical note that was not left.

My granddad committed suicide by eating the entire 88 keys on a piano, but we have no idea why…
Because he didn’t leave a note…
