Sherlock Holmes and the Stolen Tent

Written by

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip in the American countryside. After a hearty meal and a bottle of wine, they settled in for the night.

A few hours later, Holmes woke up and nudged his friend, “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”

Watson gazed upward and said, “I see millions of stars.”

Holmes asked, “And what does that tell you?”

Watson thought for a moment and said, “Astronomically, it tells me there are countless galaxies and planets. Astrologically, I observe Saturn is in Leo. Time-wise, I’d say it’s about a quarter past three. Theologically, it shows that God is all-powerful and we are small. And weather-wise, I’d expect a beautiful day tomorrow.”

Holmes paused briefly, then shook his head.

“Watson, you fool… it means that someone has stolen our tent.”

Weekend at Tut’s

When a pharaoh died, I bet the servants tried all sorts of tricks to make people think he was just sleeping, because of the tradition of burying the servants alive with the pharaoh to serve him in the afterlife. Kind of a whole “Weekend at Tut’s” thing.
