Obituary
- sad but true....
Today we mourn the passing
of a beloved old friend by the name of
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 value lessons as knowing when to come
in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the
worm and that life isn't always fair.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial
policies (don't spend more than you earn) and
reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are
in charge).
His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well-
intentioned but overbearing regulations were set
in place.
Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual
harassment 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.
It declined even further when schools were required to
get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student
but could not inform the parents when a student became
pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Finally, Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten
Commandments became contraband; churches became
businesses; and criminals received better treatment
than their victims.
Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman
failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot,
she spilled it in her lap as she drove off, and was awarded
a huge settlement!
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents,
Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter,
Responsibility; and his son, Reason.
He is survived by two stepbrothers - My Rights and I'm a
Whiner.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he
was gone.
If you still know him pass this on, if not, join the majority
and do nothing.
