Holmes and Watson are on safari. In the middle of the night, Holmes rouses Watson with a nudge.
Holmes says, "Watson, look upwards and tell me what you see."
Waston replies, "I see millions of stars, Holmes."
To which Holmes responds, "And what do you deduce from that, Watson?"
Watson ponders. Then he says, "Well, astronomically, I conclude that there are millions of galaxies. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately half past three. Meteorologically, I expect that tomorrow will be a clear and beautiful day. Cosmologically, I realize that we humans are but small and insignificant players on God's vast stage."
"Why do you ask, Holmes? What does it mean to you?"
"Watson, you idiot! The natives have stolen our tent!"
