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. 104m are retired. That leaves 133m to work. 85m are in school, leaving 48m to work. 29m are employed by the federal government, leaving 19m to work. 2.8m are in the Army, leaving 16.2 m to work. Of that 14.8m work for State and City Governments, leaving 1.4m to work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to 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.
