Default Why am I so tired?

For a couple 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 are sitting at your computer
reading jokes...

I almost bought it too. How close are those numbers to the real deal.

I'm not 100% sure but I think that 2 people working is quite a low estimate of the real number
