> Remarkable Obituary
>
> Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common Sense.
>
>
> Mr. Sense had 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.
>
> Mr. Sense 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 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 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 two stepbrothers;
> My Rights and Ima Whiner.
> Not many attended his funeral because
> so few realized he was gone.
>
> If you still remember him,
> pass this on;
>
