In the stories by Conan Doyle, Holmes often remarked that his logical conclusions were "elementary", in that he considered them to be simple and obvious. However, the complete phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" does not appear in any of the 60 Holmes stories written by Doyle. The beginning of The Crooked Man is the closest that "Elementary" and "my dear Watson" ever appear in the text, but the two phrases are separated by a paragraph-- and are in the wrong order.

Also, at no point in the Conan Doyle stories does Watson actually say "No shit, Sherlock"

i was just talking about this because a pool/hot tub situation in my short term rental has very graphic signs about not getting in the water if you have bowel leakage or discharge. People are disgusting. I am fine with these signs.
