Mr. C. Sense - Obituary
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr 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.
Please join us for a moment of silence in remembrance.
For Mr Common Sense had served us all so well for so many generations.
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 earn;
and reliable parenting 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 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.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job
they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to
administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student;
but could not inform the 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 legally defend yourself from a
burglar in your own home and the burglar can 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 three 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.
