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!"

"Ah! Watson, I found it. The stakes that you put in came out! Looks like there is only room for one though in this tent! I'll sleep INSIDE, you sleep OUTSIDE."

Watson takes his place outside the tent with his blanket and pillow. Suddenly some robbers come, beat up Watson, and take his pillow. He runs into the tent to tell Holmes.

"Holmes! Some robbers came and mugged me and took my pillow!"

He peeks outside the tent.

"I don't see anyone. Go to bed!"

Watson goes back out and sleeps without his pillow. The robbers come back, beat him up, and, this time, take his blanket. He runs back into the tent.

"Holmes! Holmes! Wake up! They came again and took my blanket!"

Holmes checks for the robbers.

"I see no one! Go to bed!"

Watson goes back to bed.

The robbers come and, once again, beat him up and take his teddy bear.

"Holmes! They came again!"

"You know what Watson, I'll sleep outside and we'll see if they come rob me."

Watson takes his place in the tent and Holmes shivers while sleeping outside.

The robbers come again and they begin to talk among themselves.

"Why do we keep mugging the guy outside the tent?" One says.

"I don't know. Should we go after the one in the tent?" Asks another.

"Sure! Whoever is inside probably has some good stuff, unlike that pillow, blanket, and teddy bear." Says another robber.

The robbers sneak past Holmes and go into the tent. A scream comes from inside the tent.

"HOLMES!!!!!!!!!!"

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done, there were three finalists... two men and a woman.

For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!"

The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home."

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out with tears in his eyes. "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."

Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the instruction to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow.

This gun is loaded with blanks", she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."

Moral: Women are evil. Don't mess with them.
