Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see?"

Although very tired, Watson humors his companion with a response, "I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes."
"And what do you deduce from that?" asked Holmes.
Watson ponders for a moment, knowing Holmes would expect a more detailed summary of his thoughts, "Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically I observe, now that you have woken me, that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three in the morning. And if I'm not mistaken, meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. But what does it tell you, Holmes?

Holmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you dickhead! It tells me that someone has stolen our fucking tent!"
