Mr. Common Sense RIP

Recommended Posts

The Obituary

 

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 ***ual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition; and when marital vows became inconvenient, when someone else came along that they liked better.

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.

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.

Mr. 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 step brothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner.

Additional information from his publicist: “Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.”

You're giving me a bad name.

 

Stop that.

 

 

No worries, I won't post them in the wrong section any more, it was an accident. Are you by any chance the same one who posted elsewhere as King of Oldschool? I heard good things about him, but never got to meet him...
