Why I'm always so tired...

Recommended Posts

For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep, not enough

sunshine, too much pressure from my job, earwax buildup, poor blood or

anything else I could think of.

 

But now I found out the real reason:

 

I'm tired because I'm overworked.

 

Here's why:. . .

 

The population of this country is 273 million.

 

140 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 preoccupied with killing

Osama Bin-Laden.

 

Which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.

 

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.

 

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 there you are,

 

sitting on your ass,

 

at your computer, reading jokes.

 

Nice. Real nice.

LOL! You had me going too...

 

But according to the CIA (in case anyone is curious like me), there are actually 295M Americans, only 35M of which are retirement age (over 65) and 60M are below working age (under 16), and the labor force including those actively seeking jobs is 150M. This leaves 50M people who are in the legit range but are not holding or seeking a job. Tell those guys to get off their assets!
