Common Sense

Obituary


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 valued 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 athletes and CEOs salaries increased to between 9
thousand and 90 thousand dollars per HOUR, and woman failed to
realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, spilled it in her lap,
and was awarded a huge settlement for simply being stupid.

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 Ima Whiner.


Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

I've noticed something was missing, but did not know what it was until now. when lawyers start running ammuck, and prissons have better accomodations than the holliday inn.
