Rating: Gen

“Look!” I pointed.

“You brought me across London for this?”

“Concede defeat!”

“Watson, you are correct.”

I grunted.

“Stinson, the former strong man whose left arm was horribly and irrevocably severed from his body by his circus-mate, a Bengal tiger, but who still wishes to maintain a certain level of physical prowess, is in need of only one dumb-bell.”

You go, Watson! ^_^ (Though poor Stinson ^^") Well, Holmes did say: "One dumb−bell, Watson! Consider an athlete with one dumb−bell!"

Holmes really should take into consideration all the possible facts ;)

Watson wins this round, I think:-)
I wonder how long it took him to find evidence to prove his point...

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Exactly! And who knows how long Watson has been scouring London and the environs for a counter-example. And then the circus came to town, thank God.

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Only improbable! Not impossible and you know what we say about that...

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

You're right. This could be years later, and the right circus finally came to town.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

I meant to ask, may I friend you?

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Sure!

"First time I've had a beer bought for me just for being one-armed," Stinson said, grinning through the foam on his splendid handlebar moustache.

"Believe me, sir," Watson replied with an identical beery-moustached grin, "your simple existence proved invaluable evidence that SOME people need to reconsider their ironclad opinions of how the world works."

You and I have the same idea of what ol' Stinson looks like. He would definitely appreciate a pint. They could swap circus and army/detective stories. I think a fun time would be had by both.

And Watson would wait:-)

And Watson wins... fabulously amusing!!

Thank you! Though who knows how long Watson had to wait to prove his point!
