Author's Notes: “Madame Tussaud ain't in it. It's the living spit of him…”



Holmes and Watson were attending the unveiling of their likenesses at Madame Tussaud’s. On a broiling summer’s day.

“It’s like a furnace,” whispered Watson.

Holmes sighed. “Indeed.”

The covering was whipped away and there was a shocked intake of breath from the audience.

“Oh, dear,” said Watson, staring at the waxworks. “Holmes, I appear to have melted into your arms.”

Wax busts jokes. These are the best.
Or wait, actually wax busts jokes are the second best thing, right after Watson's pawky humour. ^^

The very best thing though is when they overlap and Watson uses his pawky humour on situations involving wax busts :P (^^)

At which point Billy started to giggle and Mrs Hudson hit him smartly with her parasol.

I read this earlier today, and have been amused by it ever since. The thought of Madame Taussant capturing the essence of Holmes/Watson in wax, the awkward moment at the unveiling, and Watson't dead-pan reaction are priceless. *huge grin*

I'm so, so pleased you liked it ^_^ I have used that punchline elsewhere - it's nice that someone has finally found it amusing :P (^^)

*snort* Great use of a cliche! The next time I read it...

Yes - you'll never be able to get the literal meaning out of your head now ^_^
