Re: Giggle time
Skitty, if I understand correctly, the second group of people is those who cannot extrapolate from incomplete data, in other words people who don't get the joke. It's a bit similar to this one:
There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Sherlock: "It's this or Cluedo."
John: "Ah, no. We are never playing that again."
Sherlock: "Why not?"
John: "Because it's not actually possible for the victim to have done it, Sherlock!"

Re: Giggle time
Nice piece of dialogue: 
… Mark: “My hair is dyed to match Benedict’s hair.
Benedict: “My hair is dyed to match … whose?
Martin: “Sherlock’s!
Mark: “To match Sherlock Holmes’! We thought that might be a good idea!
Benedict: “It’s not a bad start!
Mark: “Do you think there is a family likeness?
Benedict: “I do.
Mark (giggling): “How?! Mysteriously, I’ve got the Holmes nose.
Benedict: “Yeah, mine’s a bit more flat and snubby and retroussé than it should be for Holmes. They’ve lit me very angularly so I throw a profile every now and again.
Martin: “They’ve lit me very roundly. That’s why I look round. Otherwise I look very chiselled in real life.
Mark: “You do look chiselled.
Martin: “Chiselled out of what? Plasticine?!
Mark: “Umm, blancmange!
Benedict: “Polystyrene. … Marshmallow! …

Maybe it didn't survive the fall from the second-floor window.

Just joking. I'm a naughty girl and I know it can be something else than tobacco. In German we have quite a nice variety of these verbs as well.

Falling out of a second floor window doing it might be...painful.

Re: Giggle time
I found myself blushing once or twice reading the original canon to the younger ones in the family.
There are a few innocent terms in the original stories that are understood quite differently today!

This made me laugh...a lot! If you have ever travelled on London's Tube (Underground/subway) then this is vital information!

Re: Giggle time
Don't know where else to put it. It always makes me giggle:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."
I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!
