What Does That Tell You Holmes?


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?" asked Holmes.

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 that
tell you Holmes?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke.
"Watson, someone has stolen
our
tent."
