Sherlock slowly rotated in his private eddy. It was never his intent to discover an alternate truth, but here he was, doing it anyway.
Watson waddled over the evidence.
Sherlock sighed, and the bubbles swirled up through his eyelashes. "Watson."
"Yes, Sherri?"
"First, I told you never to call me that. Second, you're standing on evidence."
"Aww, sorry Sherri. I had no idea. Shall I . . ."
"Aww, sorry Sherri. I had no idea. Shall I . . ."
"Move? Yes. Luckily, I have committed the evidence to memory already, so it will hardly make a difference." The crab slowly waddled exactly the wrong way, stirring up yet more silt and detritus. It didn't matter. Sherlock was already swacing back and forth with his bubble pipe champed firmly in his teeth. "If my understanding of these words are correct, and they must be, then we are not alone."
Watson's eyestalks swiveled in a full circle.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE........ Hee hee hee hee hee...

(I'm sitting in a public place here, and some guy I don't even know just walked up to me to ask me why I was smiling like that.)
Sherri?! Yes! Brilliant. Watson's eyestalks. Yes! Wonderful. Of COURSE Watson waddles the wrong way. YES! AMAZZZZZZING!
