I'm TIRED

An article makes me laugh --

Yes I'm tired.
 
 


For some time now I've been blaming it on advancing age, poor blood, lack of vitamins, air pollution, the ozone hole, saccharin, obesity, dieting, foot odour, yellow wax build-up in the ear, the after effects of ever-lengthening long hikes, and other maladies that make one wonder if life is really worth living.

But I found out that it ain't any of the above.

I'm tired because I'm overworked!

The population of the country (Ireland) is 4 million.  1 million are retired.

That leaves 3 million to do 'the work'.

There are 1 million are too young, or in school and college.

That leaves 2 million to do 'the work'.

750,000 are unemployed or staying at home, and 250,000 are directly employed by the government.

That leaves 1 million to do 'the work'.

200,000 are in the armed or security forces, 200,000 are employed by County Councils, leaving 600,000 to do 'the work'.

There are 420,000 people in hospitals, and 179,000 in prison.

That leaves 2 people to do 'the work'.

You and me!

And since you are doing nothing but reading this, its no wonder I'm TIRED!
