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 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. 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 minute, then spoke.
“Watson, you idiot. Somebody has stolen our tent!”
