When I was younger and read Sherlock Holmes, I used to completely sympathize with Watson. It always felt like the clues were nowhere near as obvious as Holmes made them out to be, and the logic was hardly as straight forward as Holmes insisted. Just once, I wanted to see Holmes mess up.

To make this more amusing, I'd like to see the following in...
