JUST FOR LAUGHS (courtesy of nec)
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."
"I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes" replies Watson. "And
what do you deduce from that?" Watson ponders for a minute.
"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of
galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I
observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the
time is approximately a quarter past three. 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. What does it tell you, Holmes?"
Holmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you idiot!" he says.
"Someone has stolen our tent!"

A turtle was walking down an alley in New Yorkwhen he was mugged
by a gang of snails. A police detective came to investigate and asked the
turtle if he could explain what happened.
The turtle looked at the detective with a confused look on his face
and replied "I don't know, it all happened so fast."

A doctor says to his patient, 'I have bad news and worse news'.
'Oh dear, what's the bad news?' asks the patient.
The doctor replies, 'You only have 24 hours to live'.
'That's terrible', said the patient. 'How can the news possibly be worse?'
The doctor replies, 'I've been trying to contact you since yesterday'.
