Sherlock Holmes and Watson took a bit of time off and went to the country to
spend a day camping. They set their tent up at sunset and retired soon after.

Around 3 in the morning, Sherlock woke Watson up. Watson, groggy and not
fully awake, said, "Huh? Huh?." Holmes gave Watson a minute or so to walk up
more fully and then raised his hand and pointed to the night sky.

HOLMES: What do you deduce from the stars, Watson?
WATSON (now fully awake): Well, I must say that given the million of stars
that we can see, I can only suppose that there are millions of planets as
well. If that's so, then I can only presume that at least some of those
planets will be as receptive to the origin of life as ours was, thus I must
conclude that life is everywhere.
HOLMES. No, no, no, Watson! The proper deduction is that someone has stolen
our tent!
