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 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 realise 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

cost to place an obituary in the paper?'
$0.20 per word, sir, 'replies the newspaperman respectfully.'
'Ok', says Graham, 'are you ready?'
'Yes', came the answer.
'The obit. reads - ' Jones dead'.'
'No more?' asks the newsman in a very surprised voice.
'No, that's it, 'came the reply.
'I have to tell you, 'announced the advertiser, 'but there is a 5 word minimum.'
'Why didn't you tell me before?' complained Graham, 'in that case it will read:
'Jones dead. Volkswagen for sale'

** Funny Cat Stories **
* Washer
Washer, the tomcat, was heard running up and down the alley for hours. Ian, his
neighbour 'phoned Alan [the cat's owner] and asked what was happening. Alan
replied, "Well, I had Washer neutered today, and he's going around cancelling
all his engagements."
* Homing Cat
Michael really hated his wife, Patricia's cat. So he decided to get rid of it for good.
Michael put it in the car and drove 2 miles away and dropped it off. Just as he
pulled in the driveway, he noticed the cat sitting in the entrance the porch.
The next day he decided he would take the cat 5 miles away and drop it off.
But again, the cat found it's way home. Each day Michael kept going further
and further away, but the cat would always find it's way home.
Michael was so furious that he decided to take the cat even further away,
he turned right, then left, circled around, then right again, another right,
backtracked a couple of times, then left again. He then dropped the cat off.
Several hours later, he 'phoned Patricia, 'Darling, is the cat there?'.
'Yes,' she answered. 'Why?' Michael replied bitterly, 'Put that flippin'
animal on the 'phone. I'm lost and need directions.'

Finally a joke that literally fits us to a T.

God, on Lawn Care
God said: "Frank, you know all about gardens and nature. What in the world is going
on down there on the planet? What happened to the dandelions, violets, milkweeds
and stuff I started eons ago? I had a perfect no-maintenance garden plan.
Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand drought and multiply with abandon.
The nectar from the long-lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honey bees and
flocks of songbirds. I expected to see a vast garden of colors by now.
But, all I see are these green rectangles."
ST. FRANCIS:It's the tribes that settled there, Lord. The Suburbanites. They started
calling your flowers 'weeds' and went to great lengths to kill them
and replace them with grass.
GOD:
Grass? But, it's so boring. It's not colorful. It doesn't attract butterflies, birds and bees;
only grubs and sod worms. It's sensitive to temperatures.
Do these Suburbanites really want all that grass growing there?
ST. FRANCIS:Apparently so, Lord. They go to great pains to grow it and keep it green.
They begin each spring by fertilizing grass and poisoning any other plant that crops
up in the lawn.
GOD:
The spring rains and warm weather probably make grass grow really fast.
That must make the Suburbanites happy.
ST. FRANCIS:Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it grows a little,
they cut it-sometimes twice a week.
GOD:
They cut it? Do they then bale it like hay?
ST. FRANCIS:Not exactly, Lord. Most of them rake it up and put it in bags.
GOD:
They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell it?
ST. FRANCIS:No, Sir, just the opposite. They pay to throw it away.
GOD:
Now, let me get this straight. They fertilize grass so it will grow. And, when it does
grow, they cut it off and pay to throw it away?
ST. FRANCIS:Yes, Sir.
GOD:
These Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer when we cut back on the rain
and turn up the heat. That surely slows the growth and saves them a lot of work.
ST. FRANCIS:You aren't going to believe this, Lord. When the grass stops growing
so fast, they drag out hoses and pay more money to water it,
so they can continue to mow it and pay to get rid of it.
GOD:
What nonsense. At least they kept some of the trees. That was a sheer stroke
of genius, if I do say so myself. The trees grow leaves in the spring to provide
beauty and shade in the summer. In the autumn, they fall to the ground and
form a natural blanket to keep moisture in the soil and protect the trees and
bushes. It's a natural cycle of life.
ST. FRANCIS:You better sit down, Lord. The Suburbanites have drawn a new circle.
As soon as the leaves fall, they rake them into great piles and
pay to have them hauled away.
GOD:
No!? What do they do to protect the shrub and tree roots in the winter to
keep the soil moist and loose?
ST. FRANCIS:After throwing away the leaves, they go out and buy something
which they call mulch. They haul it home and spread it around in place of the leaves.
GOD:
And where do they get this mulch?
ST. FRANCIS:
They cut down trees and grind them up to make the mulch.
GOD:
Enough! I don't want to think about this anymore. St. Catherine, you're in charge
of the arts. What movie have you scheduled for us tonight?
ST. CATHERINE:
'Dumb and Dumber', Lord. It's a story about....
GOD:
Never mind, I think I just heard the whole story from St. Francis
