A Joke for Campers:

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go camping, and pitch their tent under the stars. During the night, Holmes wakes his companion and says: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you deduce." Watson says, "I see millions of stars , and even if a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like Earth, and if there are a few planets like Earth, out there, there might also be life." Holmes replies, "Watson, you idiot. Someone stole our tent."
