Sherlock: “If I wanted to look at naked women I’d borrow John’s laptop.”
John: “You do borrow my laptop.”
Sherlock: “I confiscate it.”
Of course, good ol’ feminist Sherlock has to protect John from viewing all those naked women as sexual objects. [“Sarcasm.” “Yes.”] A Scandal in Belgravia gave us so many good lines — and a naked woman. But in all fairness it did also give us a naked Sherlock.
Look, I’m sorry, but this meme just got to me so you’ll have to put up with a few more this week.
JW: “But it’s password protected!”
SH: “In a manner of speaking… Not exactly Fort Knox.”
😀
I’m sure Sherlock actually confiscates it (ahem) because SH is too lazy to get up and get his own laptop. Unless he owns both a tablet [from Study] and a laptop. Knowing Sherlock, the answer is yes — to both.
SH probably finds it more fun to putter through John’s things rather than simply use his own machine. This being the same person who John takes for granted as following him — and does follow him — as if John has just gotten used to it. Just like having your sister in the house, John; just as troublesome, doesn’t let you have privacy, acts like you’re a personal convenience…
_Exactly_ like a sibling. =grins= Funny about that! :b
Also like juvenile best friends! Coke! You’re it!
Plus I’m certain Sherlock does a bit of privacy invasion as a bit of passive-aggressive dominance behaviour, esepcially since he knows he’s being watched and followed. [“I hope you didn’t mess up my sock index this time.” — A Scandal in Belgravia (This always cracks me up because as far as I’ve seen Sherlock wears the same black socks all the time; he must have a at least 8 or 9 pair of the exact same socks. So what the heck is he indexing?)]
And we all know Mycroft has had John’s computer hacked, so “Anthea” and the rest of Mycroft Harem know exactly what’s on John’s computer.
It’s a good thing John does best following orders.:-)
