Here's my concern. Is this a human Sherlock Holmes wearing a can disguise? If so, it's not one of his masterstrokes.

Or is this a living tin can with fleshy appurtenances? In which case, the ad is the stuff of nightmares!

You know how some people today are "furries"; it turns out that Holmes was a "canny."

Brings new meaning to "Watson and I blew the lid off this case!"

I just knew there were going to be a lot of cracks made about this article.

Perhaps a plumber would have been better as a mascot?

It's not like Holmes had a perfect record anyway. In "The Adventure of the Yellow Face", he misses the mark entirely.
