Lestrade and I have found an entertaining parlour game to keep us amused when other activities have tired sufficiently us.  We list on slips of paper all the more bizarre parts of Holmes’ cases, and taking the slips of paper in turn we construct new cases for him.  The exercise is improved by simultaneously drinking a large glass of whisky.

At last the explanation has come out...

And then Mr. Holmes played one of his 'hilarious' practical jokes by sending one of these efforts off to the Strand for publication ^__^

Which was rather unfortunate!

Ah, now it all makes sense!

You knew there had to be an explanation somewhere ;)

And as an extra dare, Watson tries to publish them.

Joke was on him when that idiot theatre-owner loved it and asked if his son could play Billy the page and could he pad out the part a bit...

This is what happens when too much whisky is consumed!

The only logical explanation:-)

Exactly!

And at last sense is made of how Cards Against Humanities these later cases look... :-D

You knew there had to be a good reason ;)
