Title: An Obituary I received
Post by: bigscrub79 on March 01, 2006, 09:33:41 AM
I received the following obituary and felt I should share it with all of you.
 
 
 Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common Sense.
 Mr. Sense had 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 classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after  lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened  his condition.
 
 Mr. Sense 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; 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 financial 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 stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner.
 
 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.
