Serious:
> That is the Jones's car.
But also (equally acceptable in written English) "That is the Jones' car".

Humour:
> The clarinetist's check is for a larger amount than the trombonist's.(as it should be)
(surely the clarinettists' checks are _all_ for a larger amount than the trombonist's, or
trombonists' assuming more than one of them, too? If not the clarinettists should get better union
representation!)

> The clarinetists' chairs were blue.
I've always liked blue chairs. What colour are the bassists'?
