Mini0n Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 "Subject: London Times Obituary of the late Mr. Common Sense'Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, whohas 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. Hewill be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets theworm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend morethan you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are incharge).His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned butoverbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boycharged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspendedfrom school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired forreprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing thejob that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unrulychildren.It declined even further when schools were required to get parentalconsent to administer sun lotion or an Elastoplast to a student; butcould not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted tohave an abortion.Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments becamecontraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received bettertreatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when youcouldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglarcould sue you for assault.Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed torealise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little inher lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; hiswife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. Heis survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now,Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim.Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. Ifyou still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and donothing."Não sei donde foi isto, vi noutro fórum.Muito bom! :y: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopien Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Está engraçado.E cada vez mais penso que a muitas pessoas falta o bom senso.Dando um exemplo, qualquer dia, ainda temos as instruções escritas directamente no carro, como nos EUA. Não vá algum inteligente não saber o que faz o Cruise Control, despistar-se e processar a companhia por falta de informação.
