    5ft2. Feel like a dwarf. Everyone at work is big. I ask the students to sit down sometimes as they are huge! i had a fab day. Steve, I taught economics to a class that never studied it before they loved it. hooray.

    An old one but a good one. I dont think that life is this grim do you guys but i do like it:

    An Obituary printed recently in the Times that you may have missed - very sad news...

    Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, after a long and constructive life.

    No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago buried under bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered for many great achievements, amongst that for having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
    - Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
    - Why the early bird gets the worm;
    - Understanding that life isn't always fair;
    - and appreciating that sometimes it maybe 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 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; a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

    He lost ground when parents started to attack teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

    His health declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or a Paracetamol to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

    He took a severe beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

    He began to lose the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

    Common Sense finally lost that will after a woman failed to appreciate that a steaming cup of coffee was hot; she spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. This blow proved to be fatal.

    Common Sense was preceded in death by his beloved parents Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, by his dearly missed 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 and I'm A Victim. There is to be a judicial enquiry into the status of the Will, as this has already been disputed...

    Not many attended the funeral because so few realised he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing!!
