Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. Watson, were camping one night. And Sherlock Holmes wakes up in the middle of the night and he awakens Watson. And he says, ''Open your eyes, look up, and tell me what you see.'' And Watson says, ''I see stars, millions of stars.'' And Holmes says, ''Well, what does that tell you, Dr. Watson?''
