Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson goes on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend.
‘Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”
I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes,” replies Watson.
“And what do you deduce from that?”
Watson ponders for a minute.
“Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.
“Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?”
Holmes is silent for a moment. ‘Watson, you idiot!” he says. “Someone has stolen our tent!”
A chicken goes into the library, up to the desk and says “boooook, book, book, book, book”. The librarian, unphased, hands him five books. The next day he’s back: “booook, book, book, book, book”, and the librarian hands him five more books. By the third day the librarian is most definitely phased and this time offers to carry the books for him. Being a chicken he has no hands and so is pleased to have the help. They walk across the road, through a swampy field and to a pond where a large frog is waiting. The chicken starts again “booook, book, book, book, book” so the librarian nervously holds up the books. The frog shakes his head “read-it, read-it, read-it….”

Actually I’m changing my answer: Pete’s is the funniest joke I’ve heard, it’s genius.
