Dear Dave:

On the occasion of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The IInd's XCth (90th) birthday today, a loyal British Subject named Mister Sherlock Holmes on holidays in The Dominion Of Canada decides to go for a run to raise funds to fight cancer with his friend Miss Linda Pritchard as they were together inspired to do so by that late & great Canadian Mister Terry Fox. Upon leaving The International Exhibition Of Sherlock Holmes display at the Telus World Of Science Edmonton to start their run, his friend & colleague Doctor John Watson (who was thinking it was rather a three-pipe problem to get a hold of Sherlock) asks him to comment on both the Holmes display & the cause that he & Linda are fighting for, that bastard of a disease cancer! Luckily, the great detective has a delicious & rather clever one word response to the good doctor's inquiry!

"Excellent!"
