Dang it this one took me back to a level 2! hope you like it?!
Question: My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by until today I read his obituary. Please join me in a moment of silence in remembrance. For Common Sense had served us all so well for so many generations.
Obituary
Common Sense
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 earn) and reliable parenting 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 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.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked
teachers for doing
the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining
their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to
get parental consent
to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster
to a student; but
could not inform the parents when a studen t became
pregnant and wanted to
have an abortion.
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 took a
beating when you couldn't
defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and
the burglar can 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;
his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility;
and his son, Reason. He
is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights,
Someone Else is to
Blame, and I'm a Victim.
Not many attended his funeral because so few
realized he was gone.

If somebody would have told me where his funeral was i would'a gone although i never met him. Thruthfully, i like it it's a good and sensible way to phrase everything without being offensive.
oh thats kinda sad.
on a scale of i-10, i'd give it an eight.
(*sniffles*) I miss common sense, now people like Oprah are more powerful than the president.
sad but true.
i like it
