Death of Common Sense

[Guest guest]

 

An Obituary printed in the London Times

 

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 sun lotion or an aspirin 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 religious organizations 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, by his spouse, Discretion, by

his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

 

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now,

Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim

 

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you

still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing
