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."
