Common Sense Isn't So Common







This was so good that I had to share it! Those that know me well, know that I can often be heard saying, "Common sense isn't so common", so when I received this meme, I just had to laugh out loud.


Enjoy!






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 can 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 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 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 aspirin to a student; but could
not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have
an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the 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 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 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone!!!

Religion & Age






I wonder if the people at the church I grew up attending would have votes for a priest who is 23-years old? Something tells me that they wouldn't have because, as folks in the Virgin Islands say, "He ain't know nuttin' meh son."

Well, I hope that those that decide to take a "leave of absence" from Myrtle Baptist Church, warm-up to Rev. Crowley.

No Texting while driving in NH

New Hampshire has made texting while drving or "typing on a laptop or
electronic devices" illegal effective January 1, 2010.

New Hampshire, 18 other states, Guam and the District of Columbia have
banned texting while driving.

Some commonsense was written into law in New Hampshire though,
allowing those that are entering a name or number into a cellphone to
do so.

Hat-tip New Hampshire!
