Jedi Headache

There are lots of religions that have some form of purgatory or hell or what have you. But you’ve never really experienced any of them until you’ve spent an hour and half explaining the Jedi faith to Sherlock Holmes. I say “explaining.” It should be trying to explain, but in the Jedi philosophy “there is no try.” Between Sherlock’s interruptions and disbelief (Him: “Jedi?” Me: “It’s on the national census.”), never mind he’s never seen any of the films, and me not being an expert, it was -- “challenging” is the nice word for it. And the worst bit is, he was the one who asked. It was a potential client who brought the question to Sherlock’s attention. Fortunately, it was an email enquiry, so the poor bloke asking to hire us didn’t have to sit there being insulted in person. I will give Sherlock (small) credit for having as little patience for the midichlorian nonsense as I do. In the words of Carrie Fisher: “Stand by your art, George!”

Needless to say, we didn’t take the case. I thought after the comic book job that he’d be up for more pop culture. What do I know, right?

Honestly, even Yoda would give up on the man as a lost cause. I just call him a pain the ass... er... bum.

Oh to be a fly on the wall!

[monkeybard]

I know, right? LOL!

I love the direction you chose for the prompt.
The concept and execution are perfect.
Feel John's frustration I do.

[monkeybard]

Thanks so much!

Bwhahahahahaha oh, poor John!

[monkeybard]

I feel for the guy. I really do. ;-)

LoL! Oh, that's fun. I like the idea of John explaining, and then Sherlock deleting as fast as he can!

[monkeybard]

Hee hee! I bet it gets stuck in a corner of his mind-palace and he can never get it out. ::evilgrin::

lol! I love your choice of Jedi! I don't quite understand it as a religion either but Yoda excuses quite a bit (Just not the midichlorians.)

[monkeybard]

Thank you! Gotta love Yoda, yeah, but oh! the midichlorians. ::rollseyes::

The Force might not have been with John, but it was definitely with you today. Just inspired, and totally LOL!

[monkeybard]

Thank you! John could've used some Forceful assistance, I'm sure! ;-)

Watson should give up on the Jedi and try to install Starfleet into the mind palace. I wonder how Sherlock would feel about Spock and Data?

[monkeybard]

LOL! I suspect Sherlock would appreciate Spock and Data for their logic, but I suspect he wouldn't like the Prime Directive very much. ;-)

Ahahaha that was fantastic. Love you chose the Jedi as a response to the prompt

[monkeybard]

Thanks! Jedi was the first thing that leapt to mind when I read the prompt. I think the UK was the first country where enough people wrote "Jedi" on their census forms that the gov't had to add it as a ticky-box option the next time around. :-D
