Riddle: Joel Jones Jr. has been told he must sit in his high chair for hours on end. His parents do not provide him with anything to eat or drink while he is sitting there, and he is told he must stay awake at all times while in his chair. He has also been instructed to immediately climb down from his high chair whenever he hears anyone screaming for help, and then get to the nearest water. Are these some kind of sick, twisted, abusive parents? Should D.C.F.S. be called, or is there some logical explanation for these bizarre instructions; and what possible occupation is being described?
