Had to include this one:
Sherlock Holmes Goes Camping
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 woke up, nudged his faithful friend and said, "Watson,
look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replied,
"I see millions of stars."
"What does
that tell you?"
Watson pondered
for a moment and replied,
"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 ?"
Holmes was
silent for a minute, then spoke.
"Watson,
you idiot. It tells me that
someone has stolen our tent."
