OT: 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 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, then 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.

GOP Must Back Off!

Okay, here's the plan:

The GOP must back off and let men marry men, women marry women, and
totally legalize abortion.

In three generations, there will be no more Democrats!!!

Damn! I love it when a plan comes together.

Re: Obituary
 

McDonald's used to be the one place in the whole country, where you could
count on getting a steaming cup of coffee.

Some of the Commandments are all right, but what about a dispensation for
"football widows"? Or curse words when you "really" need to let off some
steam?

Re: Obituary
 

Sorry Earle, but you have to know the rest of the story: McDonalds
modified the coffee pots to elevate the temperature much higher than
customary. The reason was that near boiling coffee gave off more aroma
and enticed customers to buy more. There were many complaints before
this case, which corporate management ignored because it cost less to
settle than they thought they would lose in sales.
