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."
"...and what does that
tell you?" Holmes calmly continued.
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. Horologically, 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
moment, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot. Some jerk has stolen our tent."
