8. Sherlock and Watson Go Camping
Sherlock Holmes and Watson are on a camping trip. After a good session of singing Wonderwall around the campfire, they retire to their sleeping bags. Several hours later, Sherlock wakes up and nudges Watson awake. Watson groggily asks, “What?” “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” Watson thinks about this for a minute, wiping his eyes. “I see millions of stars,” Watson answers. “What does that tell you?” asks Sherlock. “Well, astronomically, it tells me there are millions of galaxies. Astrologically, I can see that Saturn is in Virgo. Theologically, I see that God is all-powerful and we are insignificant. What does it tell you, Holmes?” Sherlock remains silent for a few seconds. “It tells me that someone has stolen our tent.”
