OBITUARY

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved  old friend by the name of 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 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.

It 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; Illegal aliens got driver's licences 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 know him pass this on, if not join the majority and do nothing.

The attending docter was named "Trial Lawyer" ...

Was Common Sense his FReeper name or did he post using a different name?

[TomB]

I hear "Mr. Witty" and "Mr. Clever" passed on too.

Can you be more specific? Commonsense is a persona-non-grata around FR, she turned out to be a perpetrator of financial fraud. Not her, right?

[BenLurkin]

To paraphrase Will Rogers: "The problem with common sense is that it is not very common."

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Excellent!

[Bluntpoint]

Them common sense of Islam.

[paws_and_whiskers]

This is just too good to pass up. It screams Photoshop!

[longtermmemmory]

His biographer Thomas Paine was unavable to be located in time.

[MHGinTN]

Well and truly said ... R.I.P. Sir.

Was Common Sense his FReeper name or did he post using a different name?

Commonsense was a FReeper/con artist who had a reputation for bad checks in Columbia, SC. She was accused of defrauding FReepers in the South Carolina chapter. Don't know if she was convicted.

No kidding.

Nice parody.

I am suprized that more people didn't get it.

I am sure Freeper LowEyeQue will chime in soon...

[BenLurkin]

Nice analogy for the state of the rat party. Hook up a "moderate" Republican or two and that cart of government handouts will be moving in no time.

bump...Good one.
