You should be able to celebrate today without thinking! It’s National Use Your Common Sense Day! Why today? Well, it may not be common knowledge, but today is the birthday of film actor Will Rogers, who commonly said, “Common sense ain’t that common.” I’m sure we all know someone who couldn’t celebrate today even if they studied in advance, which, they should have been doing. You don’t have to be a genius to celebrate, you just have to be common. Live a common life and have common experiences. I say we rename today, “Don’t Do Anything Dumb Day.” Spend today exercising sound practical judgment that doesn’t require any special knowledge, training or skill. I like how Dictionary.com says, “…normal native intelligence.” I guess that depends on what you’re native to. Celebrating should come naturally, but if you see someone giving you the side-eye today, you’re probably not celebrating. Have fun and…
HOLIDAY ON MY FRIENDS!!!
