I recently picked a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, "Do you think I'll live to be 90?"
He asked, "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer?"
"Oh no," I replied, "I've never done either."
Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and bar-b-qued ribs?
I said, "No, I've heard that all "red meat" is very unhealthful!"
"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf?" he asked.
"No, I don't," I said.
He said, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or fool around with sexy people?"
"No," I said, "I don't do any of those things."
He looked at me and said, "Then why in hell do you want to live to be 90?"

That was just wrongand evil and mean Bear... ribs..mmmmm. Last time I was home I shelled about 10 lbs of pecans in exchange for a promise of pecan smoked pork when I return. My mouth waters just thinking about it.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

My local "Country Market" has pork ribs on sale for $1.69 / pound. Thick, meaty & I sloooowwwww cook them with indirect heat on my pit using hardwood charcoal (not bricketts).
Did I say I slooowwww cook them for about 4 hours @ 225 degrees.
About 1/2 way through I throw a couple of sweet potatos beside the ribs.
Talk about gooood. Don't even need a knife to rip em apart.
