Common Sense is now Uncommon. Let us teach you Common Sense 101
Let's see how well you’d do on the following quiz:
1. How many hours of sleep should you be getting every night? 2. How many glasses of water should you drink daily? 3. What should you do with your free time: a-browse social media, b-exercise? 4. Which of the following best describes what you should say after a waitress brings you a cocktail? a- About F'in time, b- What's your number baby? c- Thank You! d- I'm stupid crazy horny!
