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 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.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for
doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in
disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further
when schools were required to get parental consent to administer
Calpol, sun lotion 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; churches became businesses; and criminals
received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself
from a burglar in your own home and 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 in her lap, and was promptly
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 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.
