Snyder I have to say that you seem to have the largest repertoir of the most appallingly bad puns of anyone that I have ever encountered in my entire life.snyder wrote:Or maybe you can't remember the squat about your rites of passage?Ardennes44 wrote:the next thing you know, you are sitting in the cockpit trying to remember how the hell you ever got there, and you can`t remember squat about your rites of passage

Haven't read that one, what's it about? A treatise on.. presumbably. I have always thought 'common sense' a meaningless sort of term, representing superficial thinking more than anything, or not looking beyond the obvious.

I mentioned Common Sense because we were doing a pun on Thomas Paine, the author. It was a stirring call to American independence written in 1776, and is credited with strengthening the resolve of the colonies to break away. As for your distrust of common sense, I agree that it is often just a distillation of common ignorance.
