Why I Am Tired
           



For a couple years I've been blaming it on iron poor blood, lack
of vitamins, dieting and a dozen other maladies.  But now I found
out the real reason.  I'm  tired because I'm overworked.
              
The population of this country is 300 million.  150 million are
retired.  That leaves 150 million to do the work.
              
There are 100 million in school, which leave 50 million to do the
work.
              
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government (not
including the Armed Forces).  This leaves 21 million to do the work.
              
Four million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 17 million to do
the work.
              
Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and
City Government and that leaves 2,200,000 to do the work.
              
There are 1,188,000 in hospitals, so that leaves 1,012,000 to do
the work.
              
Now, there are 91,998 people in prison and 920,000 on welfare.
              
That leaves just two people to do the work.

You and me.
