For a couple of years I've been blaming it on lack
of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now
I've 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 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.
