Obituary of the late Mr. Common Sense


Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.
No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; And maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple' sound financial policies ( don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies ( adults, not children are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.Reports of a 6 year old boy charged with sexual harrasment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student--only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their children.

His health declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer first aid cream, sun blocker, or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churchs became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when; defending yourself from a burglar in your own home meant the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot.She spilled a little on her arm, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was precede in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights; Someone Else Is To Blame; and I'm A Victim.


Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

   

to true.

   

WOW That reminds me of a Meat Loaf title "You took the words right out of my mouth"

   

very true..so what do we do about it?

   

*sigh*

Yep....

Fuck society....

   

A toast to Common Sense. Poor lil fella never stood a chance.

   

So long good friend. You gave us some good times.

   

isn't it weird how it seems like COMMON sense is only embraced by the few and not held to be a COMMON truth. the ironing is delicious
