福爾摩斯與華生

一位大學同學最近e-mail分享一個笑話，讓Helen不僅捧腹大笑，笑聲甚至大到驚動兩個女兒，紛紛詢問「發生了什麼事？」在此和大家分享 (唯不知原出處為何)：

 

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson

 

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

 

Watson replies, "I see millions of stars." "What does that tell you?"

 

Watson ponders for a minute. "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

 

Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks. "Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."
