Oklahoma did it

THE OAKIES STILL HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE!

(Recently received email)

Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even one county in the last election...

While everyone is focusing on Arizona 's new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!!

An update from Oklahoma:

Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! HB 1330

Guess what    Oklahoma did it anyway.

Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB  1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU. They said it would be a mistake.

Guess what    Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional SB 1102

Guess what    Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas, Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.

More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns.  Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals The Liberals didn't like it  -- But....

Guess what    Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers' license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really simple!

By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either

Guess what    who cares       Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

If you like it, pass it on, if you don't then delete it...Thanks

Guess what:  the people I'm sending this to will send it on.   Well, at least the ones who love and believe in freedom will.

Use your Common Sense Day

When I was in school I knew this girl - she was so smart, made straight A's, got a full scholarship for college, got a great job, but she was dumb as a brick!  She was book smart, but had no common sense.  I’m sure you know people that you can say the same thing about.  It makes me wonder, how can they be so smart in one area, but completely clueless in everyday life?  I can only guess that their mind is so concentrated on one thing, that they let the smaller tasks slide by.

Today is Use your Common Sense Day.  This day was started in honor of Will Rogers, who made a legacy of spouting out words of wisdom.  One of my favorites is if you want a fast way to double your money, take it out, fold it in half and stick it back in your wallet.  Below are some common sense warnings that have been found on regular every day products:

• Remove the plastic wrapper." -- The first instruction on a bag of microwave popcorn; to see the instructions, one first has to remove the plastic wrapper and unfold the pouch.
• "Open packet. Eat contents." -- Instructions on a packet of airline peanuts.
• "Remove wrapper, open mouth, insert muffin, eat." -- Instructions on the packaging for a muffin at a 7-11.
• "Use like regular soap." -- On a bar of Dial soap.
• "Instructions: usage known." -- Instructions on a can of black pepper.
• "Serving suggestion: Defrost." -- On a Swann frozen dinner.
• "Simply pour the biscuits into a bowl and allow the cat to eat when it wants." -- On a bag of cat biscuits.
• "In order to get out of car, open door, get out, lock doors, and then close doors." -- In a car manual.
• "Do not use house paint on face." -- In a Visa commercial that depicts an expecting couple looking for paint at a hardware store.
• "Do not drive cars in ocean." -- In a car commercial which shows a car in the ocean.
• "Always drive on roads. Not on people." -- From a car commercial which shows a vehicle "body-surfing" at a concert.
• "Do not attempt to stop the blade with your hand." -- In the manual for a Swedish chainsaw.
• "Do not dangle the mouse by its cable or throw the mouse at co-workers." -- From a manual for an SGI computer.
• "Warning: May contain nuts." -- On a package of peanuts.
• "Do not eat." -- On a slip of paper in a stereo box, referring to the styrofoam packing.
• "Do not eat if seal is missing." -- On said seal.
• "Remove occupants from the stroller before folding it."
• "Access hole only -- not intended for use in lifting box." -- On the sides of a shipping carton, just above cut-out openings which one would assume were handholds.
• "Warning: May cause drowsiness." -- On a bottle of Nytol, a brand of sleeping pills.
• "Warning: Misuse may cause injury or death." -- Stamped on the metal barrel of a .22 calibre rifle.
• "Do not use orally after using rectally." -- In the instructions for an electric thermometer.
• "Turn off motor before using this product." -- On the packaging for a chain saw file, used to sharpen the cutting teeth on the chain.
• "Not to be used as a personal flotation device." -- On a 6x10 inch inflatable picture frame.
• "Do not put in mouth." -- On a box of bottle rockets.
• "Remove plastic before eating." -- On the wrapper of a Fruit Roll-Up snack.
• "Not dishwasher safe." -- On a remote control for a TV.
• "For lifting purposes only." -- On the box for a car jack.
• "Do not put lit candles on phone." -- On the instructions for a cordless phone.
• "Warning! This is not underwear! Do not attempt to put in pants." -- On the packaging for a wristwatch.
• One of my father's favorite comedian’s is the one who always says "here's your sign."  One of my favorite stories he tells is of the truck driver who gets stuck under the bridge.  When a policeman shows up - he is laughing and says - get stuck?  The guy answers, nope - was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas!  Here's your sign!

Common Sense - RIP

LONDON, February 7, 2012

An Obituary printed in the London Times

(Google Image) 

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, launched a lawsuit 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 5 stepbrothers:

• I Know My Rights
• I Want It Now
• Someone Else Is To Blame
• I'm A Victim
• Pay me for Doing Nothing

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

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
