Just got sent this. Made I larf, so I thought I'd share the wealth.
Are you tired? I'm tired.
Yes, I'm tired, for several years I've been blaming it on poor blood, lack of vitamins, air pollution, saccharin, sick building syndrome, dieting, old sports injuries, alcohol abuse and another dozen maladies that make you wonder if life is really worth living. But I found out that it’s not that at all.
I'm tired because I'm overworked.
The population of Britain is 54 million.
21 million are retired.
That leaves 33 million to do the work.
There are 21 million at school.
That leaves 12 million to do the work.
3 million are unemployed and 4 million are employed by the government.
That leaves 5 million to do the work.
1 million are in the armed forces, which leaves 4 million to do the work.
3 million are employed by County and Borough councils leaving I million to do the work.
There are 620,000 people in hospital and 379,998 in prisons.
Which just 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!
