‘Watson, would you say we are friends?’

‘I should hope so, Holmes. We’ve known each other for years.’

‘Ah, good. Would you go as far as saying our friendship is strong?’

‘Of course. It has been tested time and time again and yet here we remain.’

‘Ah, very good. And when we first met, what did you think of me.’

‘That you were a genius… What is this about? You’re up to something, aren’t you?’

‘Nothing of the sort! I'm just noting that we became fast friends as well as friends fast...’

‘Holmes, please leave the bad puns to me.’

.oOOo.

Please sign the guestbook

Hehe, this is great.

Friends who pun together stay together?

[capt_facepalm]

I usually write Watson as an irredeemable punster with Holmes rolling his eyes in fond exasperation. This time Holmes tried his luck at it. (Thanks!)

So Watson isn't the only one with a pawky sense of humour.

[capt_facepalm]

I'm sure Holmes must have had a sense of humour as most clever people do; perhaps not in the same strain as Watson. And familiarity breeds birds of a feather. (Thanks!)

[bwblack]

They did indeed! Nice one.

I usually write Watson as an incorrigible punster with Holmes rolling his eyes in fond exasperation. This time Holmes tried his luck at it. (Thanks!)

Oh Holmes...:)

[capt_facepalm]

Poor Holmes. He cannot compete with Watson in the pawky department. (Thanks!)

[med_cat]

Haha, excellent punning

[capt_facepalm]

Thanks! This time I let Holmes give punning a try. He needs more practice.
