Why Am I So Tired
For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep, not enough 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: 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 about motorcycles. Nice, real nice.
