I'm Tired

I'm tired. For a couple years, I've been blaming it on iron poor

blood, lack of vitamins, dieting and a dozen other maladies. But now I

found out it ain't that. I'm tired because I'm overworked.

The population of this country (the USA) is 237 million. 104 million

are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85

million in school, which leave 48 million to do the work. Of this

there are 29 million employed by the federal government.

This leaves 19 million to do the work. Four million are in the Armed

Forces, which leaves 15 million to do the work.

Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City

Government and that leaves 200,000 to do the work.

There are 188,000 in hospitals, so that leaves 12,000 to do the work.

Now, there are 11,998 people in Prisons. That leaves just two people

to do the work. You and me.

Boy Oh Boy... And you're sitting there reading this. No wonder I'm

tired,

I'm the only one working.
