Sherlock Holmes was carrying a box of lemons and placed it on Watson’s table.

Watson: Where did you get all those lemons?

Holmes: A lemon tree, my dear Watson. A lemon tree.

Stepping up to the counter at the fast-food restaurant, I asked for a baked potato with butter on the side.

With the gusto of someone newly employed, the teenager taking my order asked, “Which side?”

Police Chief: The thief got away, eh? Did you guard all the exits?

Deputy: Yes, we did. But he tricked us. He went out through an entrance.

Tim: Down at the bus stop, everyone is hunting for a few quarters someone dropped?

Tom: I suppose you were looking around too.

Tim: No, I was just standing there with my foot on the quarters.
