r u retiring?

There are certain causes worth donating time and resources too: world peace/hunger, fighting abuse, saving the environment, equality for all, three day work weeks...

But I would like to join an organization aimed at global utilization of the human brain for purposes other than regulating breathing. This organization is called Common Sense.

**EDIT: I am adding a quick note based on a request for clarification. I am simply saying that it's okay to use your brain for more than just breathing. The example below qualifies as a moment potentially lacking in common sense

I wanted to address the Brett Farve retiring over text message controversy sooner, but was too busy rotating the baby.

Last week it was widely reported by several media outlets that Brett Farve retired via text message to some unnamed Vikings personnel. Specifics were stated, such as ankle not healed properly after surgery, etc. Minnesotans were losing their minds. ESPN was showing clips of Farve's past in honor of his years of service. Everyone had an opinion. One local newscast even interviewed players who were not only close to Farve, but had talked to him earlier that day. They were not aware of a text message or retirement talk. Coach Childress also had received no such message. Yet, national (especially local) drama ensued. "Text message" is where the story should have ended.

What would that text say? And why wouldn't he bother texting his coach and teammates that he is actually friends with?

Here is a copy of the message:

Vikadonics Rex: what u doing? r u coming 2 camp?

BF: ankle hurts and watching tyra. lol

Vikadinics: OMG, so u r done?

BF: i m retiring 2day. let childress know if you see him. thanx and take care rex

Vikadonics: thnx 4 the memories

The actual message said "this is it" and according to BF he didn't send it.
