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<br />build-up, poor blood or anything else I could think of. But now I <br />found out the real reason:<br /><br />I'm tired because I'm overworked.<br />Here's why:. . .The population of this country is 273 million. 140 million are retired.<br />That leaves 133 million to do the work.<br /><br />There are 85 million in school. Which leaves 48 million to do the work.<br /><br />Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government. Leaving 19 million to do the work.<br /><br />2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Saddam Hussein. Which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.<br /><br />Take from that total the 14.8 million 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.<br /><br />You and me.<br /><br />And there you are sitting on your a$$, at your computer, reading jokes. Nice, real nice!
