 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 Tylenol, 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.
