For a couple of 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 on Reddit !
