Sherlock Homes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down and went to sleep. Several hours later Holmes wakes up and nudges Dr. Watson awake.
“Watson,” he says.” Look up and tell me what you see.”
“I see millions of stars.”
“What does that tell you, my friend?”
Watson pondered that question and after a moment he replied, “Astronomy tells me there are millions of galaxies and that means billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that it’s approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I see that God is all powerful and thus we are insignificant. Meteorologically, I think we’ll have a beautiful day tomorrow. Why? What does it mean to you?”
Holmes rolled his eyes. “Think simpler, Dr. Watson. I believe someone has stolen our tent.”
