Holmes and Watson are camping, looking up into the night sky, and Sherlock asks Watson, "Tell me, what do you notice?"
Watson replies, "I notice a billion stars, the heavens spread out before us. I notice our mortal insignificance in the face of infinity, our spec-like existence in the unfathomable cosmos. I notice that the perfect order of the skies cannot be contemplated without considering a divine creator."
"Is that all Watson?"
"Pretty much. Why, what do you notice?"
"Watson, someone's stolen our tent."
