Author unknown but still brilliant -!
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend,
Common Sense! While he has been with us for many years.
No one knows for sure just how old he was, since his birth
records were lost long ago in bureaucratic red tape.
But he will be most 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 even…..It was my fault!
Common Sense always lived by simple, sound Financial
Policies like: Don't spend more than you can earn and
reliable strategies like: Adults, not children are in charge.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a

coffee she got at the local McDonald’s was hot…and then
spilled a little in her lap 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 by his son: Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers:
He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers:
“I Know My Rights!”
“I Want It Now!”
“Someone Else Is To Blame!”
“Someone Else Is To Blame!”
“I'm The Victim!”
“You Must Pay Me for
Doing Nothing!”,
and “Hey, I Didn’t Do That!”
Sadly few attended his funeral, because it seems most
Sadly few attended his funeral, because it seems most
