They stole it from us... sneaky little Hobbitses! Wicked, tricksy, false!

As you may or may not remember, I posted a joke in my blog for the heck of it, right after checking on Google that it hadn't already been made and that there were no variations on it.

So I'm in the hospital with my broken leg, when my parents bring me the July 2009 issue of the Canadian Reader's Digest. What do I find on page 25, but a joke submitted by one Phillip Tilley:

How come Sherlock Holmes never paid any income tax? Brilliant deductions.

So either Phillip and I have a psychic connection or there is a thief in our midst!
