Holmes and Watson go out camping

Holmes and Watson go out camping.


Sherlock Holmes and his good friend

Dr. Watson decide to make a trip to the

countryside and go camping.


In the middle of the night, Sherlock

wakes up Watson and asks him:


“John, look up at the sky. What do you see?”


Watson, still sleepy, slowly arranges his thoughts:


“The… stars? Well, from an astronomical

point of view, I can tell you that North is this

direction and that according to the position of

the Pleiades it must be around two

in the morning, give or take.”


Sherlock: “Go on…”


“Eh… the Milky Way can be seen without aid,

which tells me there is no light pollution –

we’ve wandered pretty far from civilization.”


Sherlock: “What else?”


“There are a few little clouds and a slight breeze

– westward wind, we might be in for

some rain tomorrow.”


Sherlock: “Anything else?”


“Well, the stars seem to be flickering more than

usual, which is only an illusion caused by air

currents in the atmosphere. We could be in

a low-pressure area within the next two days.

That’s all I know — why, what does the sky tell you?”


Sherlock: “It tells me that someone stole our fucking tent!”
