dezdimona Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Obituary An Obituary printed in the London Times........Interesting and sadlyrather true. Today, we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, whohas 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 beremembered 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 morethan you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, arein charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned butoverbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boycharged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspendedfrom school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired forreprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing thejob that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unrulychildren. It declined even further when schools were required to get parentalconsent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student; but could notinform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have anabortion!!!!!???? Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses;and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from aburglar 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 torealize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little inher lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust hiswife, Discretion his daughter, Responsibility his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;* I Know My Rights* I Want It Now* Someone Else Is To Blame* I'm A Victim Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. Ifyou still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and donothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
