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 awake. "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
questioned.
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 numbskull. Someone has stolen our tent."
