Common Sense R.I.P.

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 class-mate; teens suspended from school for using
mouth-wash 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 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; some 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 step-brothers, My Rights and Ima Whiner.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still
know him yourself, pass this on; if not, join the majority and do nothing
