One lovely evening, the detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty
friend Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After having dinner and
drinking a few glasses of wine, they became tired and went to
sleep. A couple hours passed and Sherlock Holmes awoke, and
shortly thereafter woke Dr. Watson as well. He said, "Watson,
look up, and tell me what you see."
Dr. Watson replied, "Well, sir, I see millions of stars in the
sky."
Sherlock Holmes asked, "And what does that tell you?"
Dr. Watson paused for a moment and said, "Well, astronomically it
tells me that there are billions of stars and possibly millions
of galaxies in the universe. Astrologically, it tells me that
Saturn is in Leo. Horalogically I can deduce that it is
approximately quarter past three in the morning. Theologically it
symbolizes that God is magnificent and that we humans are small
and insignificant in the universe. And meteorologically, I
suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."
To which Sherlock Holmes replied, "No, stupid! Someone has stolen
our tent!"
