Overlooking The Obvious

["Shavian Gibril Shaw" <gb_shaw@hotmail.com>]

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?" asked Holmes.

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 
suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot! Some bastard 
has stolen our tent"
