Dr. Watson, here is our house.

... is a line from an old joke about Holmes and Watson getting lost in the fog. Unerringly, despite a lack of visibility to provide any proper bearings, Sherlock walks up to the yellow door and says "Dr. Watson, here is our house".

"Well that is astounding Holmes. How on earth did you manage this extraordinary feat?"

"It's a lemon entry my dear Watson."

Putting that rapidly to one side... there is an interesting article in the New York Times about stupidity and, by connection, the use of lemons to help in two bank robberies. The article is truly fascinating in coming to grips with stupidity. I do it every day. The coming to grips bit, not robbing banks or using lemons to help me. Much better to make jams from them or sliced with G & T... here. Plus, the title give you a word of the day to learn...
