An Obituary - Common Sense has been with us for many years

An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely 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 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

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

Warning over rising humidity in UAE

By Yahoo! Maktoob

DUBAI - Humidity in the western coastal areas of the UAE reached 100 percent - the highest level so far in the year - on Wednesday, local daily Gulf News reported citing a forecaster.

The same level of humidity is also expected on Thursday along with high temperature, making conditions uncomfortable, the daily quoted a source from the meteorological office as saying.

According to the meteorological office, the discomfort index has gone up to six on a scale of one to ten. It becomes very uncomfortable if the index rises above four, the report said.

"Evenings are no more pleasant in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and other coastal cities due to the high humidity," the paper quoted the forecaster as saying.

"We still see an increase in humidity, particularly in the coastal areas," he added.

High levels of humidity could cause severe health problems if proper care is not taken.
