Three men having tea in a restaurant were talking about books.
“Books have a great influence on us,” said one of the men. “When my wife was expecting, she read Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, and do you know what happened? She delivered twins.
“When my wife was expecting she read The Three Musketeers,” said the second man, “and she delivered triplets.”
The third man fainted. When they revived him, he blurted, “My wife is expecting, and she’s reading Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves!
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went camping. After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down in their tent and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged Watson awake “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?” Holmes questioned. Watson pondered a while “Astronomically, it tells me that here are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically I observe Saturn is in Leo. Chronologically I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically I can see 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, and then spoke. “Watson, you ass, someone has stolen our tent”
