An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Dead Brilliant!!
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 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, -by his wife, Discretion, -by his daughter, Responsibility, -and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers; - I Know My Rights - I Want It Now - Someone Else Is To Blame - I'm A Victim - Pay me for Doing Nothing
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
Olaf Bluechin was one of the most fierce Vikings to ever sail the sea or raid a monastery. He took pride in his prowess pillaging, raping and burning, and brought great bags of gold and silver trinkets home to his wife, Skadi.
One fine day Olaf went out to his longship to go a-viking with his men. They traveled the swan road for three days and nights, and came to a small island, and immediately went to work, raping, pillaging and burning. Olaf went into a small dark shop and found a little yellow man with slanted eyes hiding under a pile of silks.
He grabbed him, and was about to cut through his head with his axe, when the little man said, "Please, o great Olaf! Please spare me, and I will give you great power!"
Olaf snorted, "What can you give me that I can't take from you?"
The little yellow man repleid, "I have a bottle of the most wonderful powerful potion. A few drops of it will destroy your enemies and cause their ships to explode!"
Olaf growled, "I don't believe you! Show me this!"
The chinaman (for that was what he was) produced a heavy jug and opened it. He sprinkled one small droplet on a table, and the table exploded. Olaf grabbed the jug, and despite the little man's protests not to kill him, did just that.
With the jug in the prow of his longship, Olaf turned his sea steed towards home. Three days later, he beached the boat and hauled the jug up the short hill to his cottage. He set the jug down inside the door, and went back to the ship for more of his booty.
Skadi took the huge iron cauldron and set it over the fire to begin Olaf's supper.
Just then Olaf's friend, Snorri, who had not gone a-viking this time, burst into the cottage, and demanded a drink. Skadi turned to draw him a cool one from the barrel, but he saw Olaf's jug, popped the cork, and took a monsterous swig.
"Gaggg! Baaagth!" Snorri spewed the liquid from his mouth into the cauldron. And the world exploded.
Snorri was blown out the front door, what was left of it. The cauldron turned red, then white, then disintegrated. Skadi and the barrel went the other direction, and lay there on the ground, as bits of the house settled around her.
Just then Olaf ran up to the wreckage and saw Skadi crawling out from under part of the roof.
"Wha' happened?" He cried, astonished.
Skadi shook her head and looked at him, scornfully and said, "And where were you when the spit hit the pan?"
