Two men sitting in a bar at the top of a very tall building.
One says to the other: “Did you know that this building is so tall that the winds will blow you right back to the top if you jump off it?”
The other says: “I don’t believe that.”
The first says: “Here, I’ll show you.”
They go out to the roof and the first man jumps off the building. He drops 40, 50, 60, 70 stories and then “whoosh”, he flies back up to the top and lands on the roof next to the other fellow.
The second fellow says: “I have to try that!” He jumps off, falls 50, 60, 70, 90 stories and then “Splat!”.
The first fellow comes back to the bar. The bartender looks at him and says, “You sure can be mean when you’re drunk, Superman.”
“My mind,” he said, “rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world.”
“The only unofficial detective?” I said, raising my eyebrows.
“The only unofficial consulting detective,” he answered. “I am the last and highest court of a appeal in detection….”
Thanks Mike, hysterically funny, I got tremendous giant laugh and kept on laughing, Made My Day! Their expressions are priceless, I expect that next Sherlock will go to the needle out of boredom if he has to stop what he’s doing… (could you tell I am a fan of all Sir Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories?)…
In his old age Holmes raised bees, intelligent metallic green stingless Brazilian bees. He was buried in honey. He considered it apropos to his life.

Rather unclean bar. I’m sure the barkeep appreciates Sherlock’s extermination skills more than Watson.
