Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Watson went on a camping trip.
After a good meal and a bottle of wine they laid down in their tent for the night and went to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend awake. "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?" Holmes questioned.
Watson pondered for a minute.
"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe Saturn is in Leo. Logically, 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.
"Is that all?" Holmes asked.
"Yes." Watson replied. "Why, am I missing something?".
Holmes was quiet for a moment, then spoke:
"Watson, my dear friend. Someone has stolen the tent."
brilliant!

ReplyDeleteAlways go for the obvious first,Watson.
ReplyDeleteYou got me though.
Wonderful!

ReplyDeleteI have been a little sad/stressed/___fill in the blank and have not even been blogging. But I have been lurking. I had to come out of hiding and let you know how glad I am that you took the time to share this. It seems like an eternity since I have spewed crystal light out my nose--but this one did it it!! And then after the spewing came the real thought behind it and silly as this sounds--I felt a little renewal!! Thanx again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend,
ReplyDeleteI laughed! I have not laughed for some days . . . I believe you could say "somebody has stolen my humor tent" of late -- and then I laughed. Aaaahhhh the endorphin rush picked me up and swirled me around the room in delightful euphoria. I came down with the same humorless issues tangling my life, but the tune of laughter hums in my mind as I embark on another difficult day. Thanks for the giggles. (Please pray for me . . . though I cannot share any details, I am battling a pickle-barrel full of issues right now that threaten to snuff my joy and leave me gasping for air.) Without the Lord I would not endure -- thankfully I sit in His palm. : ) (AH! She smiles here in the gutter as she seeks the stars.)
Hahaha!! Ok that was too funny!!!
ReplyDeleteMade me chuckle out loud! Thanks for that!
ReplyDeletei think there's a lesson there, though.. that sometimes someone needs to steal our tent for us to see thing in a new light
