For a couple years I've been blaming it on iron poor blood, lack of
vitamins, exercise, dieting and a dozen other maladies. But now I
found out the real reason;
I'm tired because I'm overworked. Let me explain...
The population of the United Stated is 239 million. 106 million
are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 83 million who are underage or still in school, and 30
people who are still working on their PhD's since the 50's, which
leave 49.99997 million to do the work.
Four million, four hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred
seventy are in the Armed Forces, which leaves forty five and a
half million to do the work.
Of this there are 29.4 million employed by the federal
government. This leaves 18.5 million to do the work. Half that
many work for State and City Governments, and leaving 1,400,000
to do the work.
Now, there are 895,798 people in prisons, so that leaves 504,202
to do the work.
There are 504,200 people being treated in hospitals, at doctor
appointments, or on sick leave today. That leaves just two
people to do the work.
You and me.
And you're sitting there playing around surfing.
