I didn’t know, so I looked it up. What a great expression. That one might be getting some more use in the days ahead.

“Detective: Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?

Sherlock Holmes: To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.

Detective: The dog did nothing in the night-time.

Sherlock Holmes: That was the curious incident.’
