oh beloved deduction

Today's topic at university was  'describing people'.
I love to travel and one thing that I love to notice is, what people do and how they are. Im rambling a bit, let me explain you what I want to say.
You are in the subway and see a guy who is wearing a wedding ring, you can easily and logcally guess that he is married, don't you?
Sherlock Holmes, one of my favourite characters, calls it 'deduction'. It's easy, it makes fun. I kind of love it, it helps you so much with guessing how the person is. At least I think so. If someone is wearking some trainings socks and a new sport outfit, I would rather guess he is coming from the gym or whatever the sport is. A tennis racket suggests a tennis player. wet hairs could suggest a swimmer, or that he got wet somewhere. Did it rain? Yes, so why is he not wearing an umbrella or at least a coat? So you even guess the weather outside if you actually don't know it, just by looking at foreign people's dresses.
Isn't it easy?



Here is a short part of the film with Robert Downey in which he deducts the profile of watson's new wife.
