Story Corner: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson


Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of Pepsi they lay down in their tent 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.”
  • Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars.”
  • “What does that tell you?” Holmes questioned.
  • Watson pondered for a minute then he said:
  • 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, and then spoke. “Watson, you idiot !!!!. It tells that someone has stolen our tent.
