Know Any Good Sherlock Jokes?

[Pseudonym 7,436]

Hello all!

 

I was pottering about on Pinterest and came across this which I found pretty amusing, does anyone know any more?

You know, I think somebody may have asked that once before, and if there were any, they don't stick in my mind!

 

I think the biggest joke is the legions of Sherlock fans who are willing to wait year after year after year for 3 -- count 'em, THREE -- new episodes. :d

Hello Brandon and welcome to the forum!

 

Er, I have to admit I don't get it.

Hi Brandon! Welcome to the forum!

That took me longer than I'd care to admit to understand, even with your hint - but thanks, I wouldn't have stood a chance otherwise. ^_^ Wordplay and puns are about the most difficult things to understand for a non-native speaker. Cockney rhyming slang is the worst in that regard.

NObody understands Cockney rhyming slang -- which is the whole point, I guess. It's sort of a code, known only by the in-crowd.

 

Welcome to the forum, Brandon! Thanks for the joke -- I was beginning to think we'd have to change the name of this thread to "Do you know more than one Sherlock Holmes joke?"

Actually, I think that's more of a "Funny Sherlock Picture."      But hey, it's not like we're exactly swamped with Holmes jokes!

[Pseudonym 7,436]

Well, there was a 'why did the chicken cross the road' one, but it wasn't as good. Desperate times ;)

... or perhaps (especially in the case of "our" Sherlock), "Be he never so humble, there's no police like Holmes."

 

When last seen, Mrs. Hudson was cross-stitching that on a sampler.
