joke circulated on the Internet
December 2003

Voted the best joke:

 

sherlock Holmes and dr. Watson went on a camping trip. As they lay down for the night, Holmes said:       "Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson said: "I see millions and millions of stars."
holmes: "And what does that tell you?"
watson: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are million of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically it tells me that God is great and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
What does it tell
you?"
Holmes: "Somebody stole our tent."
