As We Mourn Such an Important Old Friend...

 

Page 315 of 366. Good Morning Lovies. First off, I know it is NFL Sunday... but I want to acknowledge that the Toronto Argos are off to the Grey Cup... YESSSSSSSS!!! 

It's bound to be fun times as I got a friend, or two are die-hard Winterpeg Blue Bomber fans... Meet ya on the grid ~ 6pm November 17th fuckers!!!

(Ps. All you Pussycat fans... Kiss my Grits!!!)

Today, it finally feels like a fall day. Its about 9 degrees and raining... dreary to many, but serene and soothing for my soul. 

Why do people have to hate the rain so much???

I could turn this blurb into a rant about what our insane city is trying to pull with its citizens. I am absolutely appalled by the balls and lack of common sense in this world. I guess that article was right that posted the eulogy for it...

THE DEATH OF 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 are in charge not children).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of an 8 year old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate on the cheek, 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 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 women 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
His son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers

I know my rights
I want my rights
I want it now
I’m a victim.

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