A joke for us Sherlockians
It's the middle of the night. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are camped at the edge of a forest, where they have stopped for a night's rest, as they track a dangerous suspect. Holmes speaks. "Watson, are you awake?" "Yes, Holmes", answers the doctor. "Tell me what you see, Watson", he says. Watson replies, "A sky full of stars". "And what does that mean to you, Watson?", he goes on. Watson ponders for a minute, then says, "It means that we are but tiny specks in an immense universe, yet we must persevere, doing our part to bring justice to our little world." "Interesting", Holmes replies. "And what else, Watson?"
Watson thinks a bit, then proceeds, "It means that nature in its great beauty is constantly on display, even during times of great turmoil and anxiety for mankind, and that we can take comfort in that." "I see", answers Holmes. "Anything else, Watson?"
By now Watson doesn't know how he can further expound on this subject, so he asks, "What does it mean to you, Holmes?"
Well irritated by now, Holmes snaps, "It means someone has stolen our tent, you idiot!!!"
