Obituary - Common Sense
I think we’ve all read something similar to this before – but it doesn’t hurt to be reminded again.
How true!
An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely brilliant!!
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 churches 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 wife, 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
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

It's called the "Good News." God is still sending "Good News" Valentines today to anyone willing to repent and receive the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. Perfect for outdoor activity or super-sweaty sessions at the gym. The cat was starving and had a skin disorder, which covered his body and eyes.. This valuable awesome, coming from a brand new, earth alert firm generally known as Ecozuri (which can basically end up being converted to help you "beautiful planet"), is normally remarkable to use category.. Plato who drew his portrait, could not, of course, keep himself out of it, any more than Christ's recorders could, but at least magic did not dog Plato's footsteps as it did everyone's footsteps when the Gospels were written. Place your heavier items, like jeans and coats should be placed at the bottom of the suitcase, and work upward from there.

Somehow I found Fendi's patent leather Spy Bag most appropriate ($1,480). (Fun fact: The largest diamond ever discovered is the Golden Jubilee Diamond that weighs 545.67 carats or 109.13 grams in 1985. You can find traditional small clutches worn on the hand together with bigger ones, appropriate for work and office. I am not here to rehash those gripes, though I'm sure many of them are true. When a small amount of money was stolen at my school, the dean made a big deal of it. Sellers often set prices very low to attract interest in the hopes that their item will be bid up by multiple people who are interested in the item. The bolt active for bearing Celine Bag includes an experienced aftereffect around the accepted and breeding from your purse.

I also had a bigger container already in the room filled with yarn. Posters are up and the football merchandise is everywhere. You will find surprise gifts for all ages and genders. The deepness of the wrinkles was lowered by 20% on average with a 21% advance in their general skin softness. I am always happy to discuss cookware and gadgets!Look for future articles in which I will discuss the properties of different metals and what to look for when purchasing cookware or knives.. The men soon became regular customers at JR, shoving pallets of Marlboros and Winstons into waiting vans.. As with most of Bosch's appliances, Bosch washing machines come in three ranges: Classixx, Exxcel and Logixx. Doing the bags a bit useful also signifies to sacrifice a bit of the 'luxury' touch.
great to be reminded of this...... if only more people took onboard the sentiment
As it's said here somewhere..'life isn't always fair' so there are times common sense takes a beating !!
Funny but very true.
