The joke that was voted the most popular in the world is about Sherlock Holmes, probably because the fictional character is well known around the globe.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go camping.
In the middle of the night, Sherlock nudges Watson and says
“Watson, look up and tell me what you see.”
“I see a beautiful deep blue sky and millions of stars and it makes me wonder about the nature of the universe and if we are alone in the cosmos.”
“And what does this tell you Watson?”
“Well, astrologically it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Hierologically, I can deduce that it is approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it could indicate that there is a God and that we humans are small and insignificant in the universe. Or that we are not alone, and there are other races living on those stars that are also looking up at their own night sky. And meteorologically, I think it will be a beautiful fine day tomorrow.”
“You idiot!” Sherlock replies. “Someone has stolen our tent.”
We all need to laugh, and laughing at ourselves is the best therapy. I hope you get a few giggles from this book.
