Common Sense:

[Victor]

A Rather Remarkable 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
valuable lessons such 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 financial 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.
