Common Sense

is what all of us are supposed to have in some measure. Yet there is no general agreement on this, because I have heard the phrase, common sense, used, yes even in reference to me, thusly. She doesn't have any common sense. Or, she lacks common sense. So I admit it, I don't have any common sense. Now though, I hear an appeal for me to use some common sense. Maybe there's a pool of it out there I can dip into. Hey Paul, did you fill up the common sense trough today?, I gotta get some. Hey Raymone, can I borrow some of your common sense?

I've noticed one other thing too about (common sense). Those who talk about having it the most, seem to have more than their fair share, by inference anyway. Because as one of us might say, "That poor basturd don't have common sense, but here am I to recognize that that poor basturd don't have common sense, and that means, by inference, that I do have common sense."

Again, this opine withers the land with redundancy, He/she/they should show some common sense. It certainly would freshen me up to hear someone else say, like a politician maybe, "I should show some common sense".

One more gem, "It's just common sense".
