Please, let's all bow our heads in sorrow......................
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 valuable 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 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, then great; if not, join the majority and do nothing.
What A Twist!
Eh? Am i the oly one Lost here?
It's possible! Common Sense?! In other words, now day's Common Sense is Dead! Almost noone in this world has it anymore!
People act before they think first now days! Therefore, common sense would make a person think before they acted!
What A Twist!

Some people just cant get satire, with a little dose of sarcasm. No confusion here.
Maybe you have to have common sense to get it? I loved it.
Common Sense is not profitable.
Funny as hell, nice post
Your exactley right! A little common sense goes a long way!!!!!
What A Twist!
I just wish I could come up with such writings myself! I posted this on ZP for the fun of it, but also, because it is soooooooooooooo true!
What A Twist!
Common Sense it not profitable? I disagree! If your talking about "profitable" as in "Money" or something like that, then Common Sense is profitable!
You have to have common sense in order to know what to buy, sell, build, etc. in order to make that profit!
What A Twist!

Great post!
Do you think Mr. Sense would have stayed in New Orleans despite all the warnings of Katrina? I guess we'll never know since he's already passed.
I got this spam once in email.
It stopped there.

For some people it's hard to give up everything they've known and loved for so long. To most matteral poessions mean nothing but it's also a way of life that's hard to give up. I wonder how many of us would have stayed. I fot one would have stayed, not to protect matterial things but to protect a way of life and to help preserve it.
A world of invisible people. We pass them without seeing them, as casually and indifferently as we pass our own reflections in store front windows. Do they really live among us? Or are they citizens of another country, a vast and teaming gulag of the dispossessed. No, don't turn away. Look in their faces. Do you see your brother? Your mother? An old friend? Someone you went to school with? Someone you once loved? No? You didn't see them? Not today. Tomorrow you could.
