Common Sense

Now I’m thinking, while sitting on a chair, There is something that I would like to share I fear my mind is dense Can’t make out common sense How come they call it common if it’s rare? -------------------------------------------------- Quote: “Common sense is very uncommon” (Helen Gurley Brown) "Common sense is not so common" (Voltaire) -------------------------------------------------- Contest: Dumb and Dumber Personal quotes Sponsor: John Freeman
