: Warning!! There are two sweary words toward the end!!
:
: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep.
: Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "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?" Watson pondered for a minute.
: "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 supect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
: What does it tell you?"
: Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you dickhead.
: Some bastard has stolen our tent."
Good joke, but I think it's pretty old.
