common sense

A mythical force that is supposed to bestow knowledge of the obvious. Unfortunately, humankind has proven, time and time again, that there is no such thing as common sense.

The People v. Common Sense:

Exhibit A-
Common sense should tell people that coffee is a hot drink, and that when spilling it, one should expect it to be hot. Common sense should also tell people that eating fatty foods makes you fat. Still, look at the recent pathetic excuses for "lawsuits" against some fast-food restaurants.

Exhibit B-
Common sense should tell people - even children - that TV shows such as "Power Rangers" are not reality. Two eleven-year-old boys, however, tried to re-enact a scene from the above-mentioned show by burying an eight-year-old boy alive in the ground, thinking he would grow back out. Duuuuh...I don't think it worked...oops!

Exhibit C-
Common sense should tell the Bush administration to take money from people who actually HAVE MONEY TO GIVE, but instead they choose to take it from people who do not have it.

I rest my case.

Crosstown Commons

An interchange between Interstate 35W and Minnesota State Highway 62 in Richfield, Minnesota. Traffic often backs up for several miles. Try to avoid this area in full but if you must enter it, DO IT BEFORE RUSH HOUR OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!

To bypass the crappy Crosstown Commons, use I-494 or local streets.

Common Sense

1) Something the general populous of Earth lacks.

2) The ability to discern what is right and what is wrong.

3) The ability to discern what is intelligent and what is stupid.

The blaming of obesity on fast-food restaurants and not on people who should know that fatty food makes you fat.

Cosmopolitan magazine

also known by some by "Cosmo" and "women's Bible"

magazine for the 18-35 mostly Caucasian female population, though teens and pre-teens read it as well.

teaches virtues and life lessons like "90 ways to please your man" and "How to make men want you."

can be incredibly funny, ridiculous or offensive depending on one's perspective.

has single-handedly set a particular type of woman back many years, defining women solely by their relationships with men.

I didn't renew my Cosmopolitan magazine subscription because the message it sends is horrible.

I read Cosmopolitan magazine every month. It's the only reading I do. Because of Cosmo, I can now give amazing blow jobs and dress to impress men.
