Elementary My Dear Watson
Sherlock
Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of
wine they lay down for the night and went to sleep.
Some
hours later Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. “Watson, look up at
the sky and tell me what you see”
Watson
replied, “I see millions of stars”
“What
does that tell you Watson?”
Watson
pondered for a minute.
“It
tells me that there are millions of stars”
“What
else does it tell you?”
“Astronomically,
it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.
Horologically,
I deduce the time is quarter past three.
Theologically,
I can see that God is all powerful and that we are very small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, I suspect we might have a beautiful day tomorrow.
Why
Homes, what does it tell you?”
Homes was
silent for a minute, then spoke.
“Watson
you tosser. Some bastard has stolen our tent!! !"
