Remarkable Obituary <br /> > > <br />> > Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, <br />> > Mr. Common Sense. Mr. Sense had been with us for <br />> > many years. No one knows for sure how old he was <br />> > since his birth records were long ago lost in <br />> > bureaucratic red tape. <br />> > <br />> > He will be remembered as having cultivated such <br />> > value lessons as knowing when to come in out of the <br />> > rain, why the early bird gets the worm and <br />> > that life isn't always fair. Common Sense lived by <br />> > simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more <br />> > than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies <br />> > (adults, not kids, are in <br />charge). <br />> > <br />> > His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well <br />> > intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in <br />> > place. - Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with <br />> > sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens <br />> > suspended from school for using mouthwash after <br />> > lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an <br />> > unruly student, only worsened his condition. <br />> > <br />> > Mr. Sense declined even further when schools were <br />> > required to get parental consent to administer <br />> > aspirin to a student; but, could not inform the <br />> > parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to <br />> > have an abortion. <br />> > <br />> > Finally, Common Sense lost the will to live as the <br />> > Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became <br />> <br />> businesses; and criminals received better treatment <br />> > than their victims. <br />> > <br />> > Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman <br />> > failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was <br />> > hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a <br />> > huge financial settlement. <br />> > <br />> > Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, <br />> > Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, <br />> > Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived <br />> > by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner. <br />> > <br />> > Not many attended his funeral because so few <br />> > realized he was gone. If you still remember him, <br />> > pass this on; if not, join the majority and do <br />> > nothing.
