on the lighter side-the whole picture



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?" said 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. Chronologically, 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 fool. Somebody 
has stolen our tent."
