    When Sherlock Holmes died, he ascended into Heaven. Upon his
arrival, he was immediatly given an audience with the Divine
Presence. Jehovah said :
    "Mr Holmes, we have a problem here. Adam and Eve are missing.
They used to be quite an attraction to visitors and we would like
to commision you to find them."
    Holmes said :"Could you make an announcement that a contest
between an irresistible force and an immovable object will be
staged in that large field across the street?"
    The announcement was made and soon the streets were filled
with people. Holmes stood idly watching them. Suddenly he
darted into the crowd and seized a patriach and his mate. Sure enough,
the old couple was Adam and Eve.
     "Mr. Holmes",said the Diety,"how did you find them?"
     "Elementary my dear God",said Sherlock Holmes,"they have no navels"
