Zinger (unreleased), Hollywood Edition: Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson."
Q: Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson."
A: Fact. This phrase likely became associated with Sherlock Holmes in Basil Rathbone's famous film series, but it was never spoken by Sherlock Holmes in any of the original Sherlock Holmes stories.
