I'm Tired
Contributed By: Alan Taylor
For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much
pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason:
I'm tired because I'm overworked. The population of this country is 237
million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of
this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19
million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves
16.2 million to dothe work. Take from that total the 14,800,000 people who
work for State and City Governments, and that leaves 1.4 million to do the
work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving
1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And you're sitting
at your computer reading jokes.
