An Obituary printed in the LondonTimes.....Absolutely Dead Brilliant!!

Today we mourn the passing of a belovedold friend, Common Sense, who has beenwith us for many years. No one knows forsure how old he was,since his birth recordswere long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.He will be remembered as having cultivatedsuch 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, soundfinancial policies (don't spend more than youcan earn) and reliable strategies (adults, notchildren, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly whenwell-intentioned but overbearing regulationswere set in place. Reports of a 6-year-oldboy charged with sexual harassment forkissing a classmate; teens suspended fromschool for using mouthwash after lunch; anda teacher fired for reprimanding an unrulystudent, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parentsattacked teachers for doing the job that theythemselves had failed to do in discipliningtheir unruly children.

It declined even further when schools wererequired to get parental consent toadminister sun lotion or an aspirin to astudent; but could not inform parents when astudent became pregnant and wanted tohave an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as thechurches became businesses; and criminalsreceived better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when youcouldn't defend yourself from a burglar inyour own home and the burglar could sueyou for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will tolive, after a woman failed to realize that asteaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilleda little in her lap, and was promptly awardeda huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death,-by his parents, Truth and Trust,-by his wife, Discretion,-by his daughter, Responsibility,-and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;-1 Know My Rights-I Want It Now- Someone else Is To Blame-I'm A Victim .- Pay me for Doing Nothing

Not many attended his funeral because sofew realized he was gone.

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