I always wondered why Watson never did any "Doctoring" and had seemingly little time for any of his many wives? If you are wondering about Tone Deaf, dont worry, I have every reason to believe that he is a benefits fraudster with plenty of time on his hands. THEO SLEUTHHOUND AND THE BISHOP'S BIKE. Ex-PC Theo was ecstatic, "Tone I've got my second case!" I was warming to my role as chronicler to the great man. Though I told him, "I shouldn't get too excited you never found one of the 23 bikes that you had stolen when your were a Policeman" Theo smiled saying "This time I have a plan, I'll find out what sort of Bike the Bishop rides; then buy one on E-Bay. Give it to the Bishop and pretend that the criminal had made a full confession but wishes to remain unknown though they are fully contrite" A few days went by but Theo could not find out the make of the Bishop's Bike. I just happened to have popped in to see Theo when the Bishop entered and asked "Well have you found the Bike? Unmasked the rogue concerned? Theo was speechless, so I butted in. "We have a small number of suspects, but we need you to flush them out. So this Sunday base your sermon on the Ten Commandments. When you get to "thou shalt not steal": Pause look round and say in a Mosaic voice and certainly not my bike! We shall be in the congregation observing your flock." Theo regained his composure and said to the Prelate, "We will need an hundred pound advance". The prelate paid up and left. However we both forgot about the service. I was doing rehearsals and Theo overtime at the Cab office. So the next Monday I was sat in the office with Theo; when the Bishop rushed in and told us, "I've got my bike back" Theo asked him, "Did you do the Ten Commandments" "Yes" replied the Bishop, "but I got no response until I'd said thou shall not commit adultery" Theo looked puzzled and asked "what has bike theft got to do with Adultery?" The prelate's answer was straightforward "Nothing, I just remembered where I'd left my bike." He added "You will be discrete wont you" He put what looked like at least five hundred pounds in used notes onto the table. We were very discrete.
