It’s Elementary 0

When Sherlock Holmes passed away at some future date (so far as I know, he is still keeping bees in Sussex) and went to Heaven, he was immediately called into the presence of God.

“Holmes,” said God, “can you help us?”

“Why certainly,” he replied. “Please place your problem before me.”

“Well, it’s Adam and Eve. They’ve . . . disappeared. Can you find them?”

“Allow me to commence my investigation,” responded Holmes.

A few hours later (or whatever passes for hours in the celestial sphere) he reappeared with the recalcitrant couple in tow.

“What have you to say for yourselves?” thundered the Deity.

“Well,” Adam replied, “it’s all the newcomers.”

“Yes,” said Eve. “They keep asking us for autographs!”

“Hmmph!” grumped the Deity. “I can understand why you needed a break. Off with you. Now, Holmes, how did you find them?”

“Elementary, my dear God,” he replied. “They were the only ones with no navels.”

In other news, I knew the name that Holmes spoke to his friend in this episode of Elementary before it was spoken on the show.

After all, to Sherlock Holmes, she is always “the woman.”
