Obituary

the world

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;

however they 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 a bit in her

lap, 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 Ima 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.

Add to our list of the now gone in the 21st century: Customer Service. Oh, it exists, but in name only. No one knows Customer Service any more. It has passed on.

seems to me that common sense was never real, just another nice myth that people no longer believe in...

after all, stupidity and irrationality have been reigning supreme for as long as recorded history and I find little evidence

your common sense ever existed as more than a legendary being (^_^)

Common sense died with my grandpa. I miss him.

Didn't Jesus mention his demise in the Gospel of Matthew. It was one of the signs of the times, together with the internet, SUV's (4x4's for non Greek speakers) and global warming.
