I'm Tired!

Yes, I'm tired. For several years I've been blaming it on middle age, poor blood, lack of vitamins, air pollution, sccharin, obesity, dieting, under arm odour, yellow wax build up and another dozen maladies that make you wonder if life is worth living.

But I found out it ain't that.

I'm tired because I'm overworked.

The population of this country is 62 million
29 million are retired;
That leaves 33 million to do the work.
There are 23 million at school;
That leaves 10 million to do the work.
1 million are unemployed and 5 million are employed by the Government;
That leaves 4 million to do the work.
3 Million are employed by County and Borough Councils leaving 1 million to do the work.
There are 620,000 people in hospital and 379,998 in prisons.

Which leaves 2 people to do the work.

You and me.

And you're sitting on your arse reading this

No wonder I'm bloody tired!

I think you should read this before quoting crap figures

National Statistics Online - Population Estimates

Pop 62M
Over 65 11M (but many still working)
Under 16 11M

That leaves 40M less the 10M of other stuff you quote leaving 30M NOT 2 PEOPLE

Carol Vorderman is right about poor maths standards in the UK

I think it was meant to be a joke...well it was the first time I heard it...oh well,thank god I'm one of the retired.
