What Do You See, Watson?


Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. They put up their tent and went to sleep. Sherlock wakes up Watson with the question “What do you see, Watson?”

He replies “I see millions of stars”.

“So what does that tell you?” Sherlock asks.

Watson thought for a while and said “Astronomically, there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be about 3am. Theologically, it becomes evident that the Lord is all powerful and we are so insignificant. Meteorological, we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.”

Feeling that he has observed all that could have been, Watson retorts “So what does it tell you, Sherlock?”

Sherlock Holmes replies “You idiot, it tells you that someone has stolen our tent”.
