The Husband ~
A
man and a woman were having dinner in a fine restaurant. Their
waitress, taking another order at a table a few paces away noticed that
the man was slowly sliding down his chair and under the table, with the
woman acting unconcerned.
The
waitress watched as the man slid all the way down his chair and out of
sight under the table. Still, the woman dining across from him appeared
calm and unruffled, apparently unaware that her dining companion had
disappeared.
After
the waitress finished taking the order, she came over to the table and
said to the woman, 'Pardon me, ma'am, but I think your husband just
slid under the table.'
The woman calmly looked up at her and replied firmly, 'No he didn't. He just walked in the door.'
Elementary Dear Watson ~
Sherlock
Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and
fall asleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend.
'Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.'
Watson replies, 'I see millions of stars.'
'What does that tell you?'
Watson
ponders for a minute.' Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there
are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears
to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident
the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What
does it tell you?
Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks. 'Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent.'
