Why am I so tired???<br /><br />For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep, not enough<br />sunshine, too much pressure from my job, earwax build-up, poor blood or anything else I could think of. But now I found out the real reason: <br /><br />I'm tired because I'm overworked. Here's why:<br /><br />The population of this country is 273 million.<br />140 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There<br />are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work Of<br />this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work.<br />2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Saddam<br />Hussein. Which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.<br />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.<br /><br />At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.<br /><br />Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.<br /><br />That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And there you are sitting on your azz, at your computer, reading jokes.
