Why I am so tired-

I usually don't pass these things along- but this one caught my attention- since I have been exhausted this week.


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, etc.

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 1! 88,000 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 butt,, at your computer, reading jokes.

I am just so glad that it is Thursday. My friend Ray & I are going to to one of our favorite watering holes to play trivia and have a few drinks- I just hope that we do better than last week.

Have a great night all.

You do trivia with others? I feel almost cheated on! I think that some trivia at a particular place might be necessary. Have fun at work while I sit on my duff.
