"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?" Holmes asked.
Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot. Somebody has stolen our tent!"

God answered, "In my frame of reference, it's about a minute."
The man asked, "God, how much is a million dollars?"
God answered, "To me, it's a penny."
The man then asked, "God, can I have a penny?"
God answered, "In a minute."
At school, a boy was told by a classmate that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, and that
this makes it very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth" even when you don't know anything.
His mother quickly handed him $20 and said, "Just don't tell your father."
The father promptly handed him $40 and says, "Please don't say a word to your mother."
The boy greeted him by saying, "I know the whole truth."
The mailman dropped the mail, opened his arms and said, "Then come give your Daddy a big hug."
