Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on
a camping trip. After a good meal, 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."
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 idiot. Someone has stolen our tent."
