Portraying profound exasperation that, ultimately, brings a smile--though, admittedly, a rather mirthless one.
Good luck with solving the mystery that is any woman.

Loved this allegory Jacob but it made me so sad...................[cue sad music, sad face]...............as I relaised I was more like Columbo!

Moriarity strikes again. Best get my deerstalker and Meerschaum pipe...searching for love without any clues is no way to work on mysteries.
Loved Holmes...have a complete anthology...and Sleuth was a great movie as well.

Good one, j.

Some herts can't be won no matter how clever we are.
Another good one.

This is clever Jacob. Even the best sleuth is powerless to solve the mysteries of love:)

Some mysteries are just that unsolved. Not even the best can crack.

Yay, I thought people only said they lol, but this certainly tickled my funny bone.
I read all of the sherlock stories last year and like love, was also clueless as to how it was so elementary. I think I was in the remedial class.
I'm so glad ex's don't do reviews, I would certainly be in remedial on that topic.
Keep sleuthing.
