I’m tired . . .
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 the USA 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 do the work.
• Take from the 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.
