Sherlock Holmes
---------------

A funny story circulated recently about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator
of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Doyle evidently told of a
time when he climbed into a taxi cab in Paris. 

Before he could utter a word, the driver turned to him and asked, "Where
can I take you, Mr. Doyle?"
 
Doyle was flabbergasted. He asked the driver if he had ever seen him
before.
 
"No, sir," the driver responded, "I have never seen you before." Then he
explained: "This morning's paper had a story about you being on vacation
in Marseilles. This is the taxi stand where people who return from
Marseilles always come to. Your skin color tells me you have been on
vacation. The ink-spot on your right index finger suggests to me that
you are a writer. Your clothing is very English, and not French. Adding
up all those pieces of information, I deduced that you are Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle."
 
"This is truly amazing!" the writer exclaimed. "You are a real-life
counter-part to my fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes!"
 
"There is one other thing," the driver said.
 
"What is that?"
 
"Your name is on the front of your suitcase."
