Obituary.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend,Mr.Common Sense.  Mr.Sense has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were lost long ago 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 is not 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 beganto deteriorate when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.

Reports of a 6 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.

Mr.Sense declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student; but, could not inform 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 realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She pilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge financial 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 2 stepbrothers, My Rights and Ima Whiner.

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

If you still remember him, please pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
