OVERWORKED 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 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.
