        "Courageous Wit and Outrageous Wisdom"
            (An Obituary printed in the London TIMES- Feb 20Fabulous Blog award in Aug 201210) by Gwen Leopold
         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 work; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault.
        Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more then
you 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 monthwash
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 Asprin to a student; but could not inform parents when
a student became pregrant and wanted an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to
live, as the churches became businesses; and criminals recieved better treatments then
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 four stepbrothers: I know My Rights, I Want it Now,
Someone Else is to Blame and I'm a Victim.
    Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
