This was voted the funniest joke by an Internet survey, but depending upon your sense of humour (and sensitivities) here is another Holmes/Watson joke.
Holmes and Watson are relaxing in their Baker Street apartment.
Holmes: Watson can you please cut that lemon into very fine slices.
Watson: Certainly Holmes.
Holmes: Now Watson can you please drop your trousers and bend over that chair.
Watson: (a little cautiously) certainly Holmes.
Holmes then arranges the sliced lemon in a circular pattern upon Watsons rump.
Watson: ( a little concerned) Holmes, what happens next ?
Holmes: lemon entry dear Watson, lemon entry
