Elementary

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine they were exhausted and retired to sleep.

Some hours later Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful companion.

“Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see”

Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars”

“And what does that tell you ?”

Watson pondered a moment.

“Astronomically it tells me 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 a quarter past three. Theologically I can see that the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

What does it tell you Holmes ?”

“You blithering idiot Watson. Some bastard has stolen our tent !”
