If common sense is so common...?

Question

why do so few people actually use it?!

Answer 1

Even people with no sense would get by pretty well if they just kept that gaping hole below their nose shut a little more often.

Edit: Oh hurray, I've had yet another visit from the thumbs downer! Must love me really!

Answer 2

It's called common sense not everyone has it or can use it sense. Some people never use it because they loose it when they go to college. When they get their college education, they get what is called "book sense" and loose the common sense they were born with. Very few College graduates can learn to use both.
