Back to work!!!

The population of this country is 300 million.

160 million are retired.

That leaves 140 million to do the work.

There are 90 million in school.**

Which leaves 50 million to do the work.

Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government.

Leaving 15 million to do the work.

2.8 million are in the armed forces.

Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.

Take from that total the 10.8 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 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 there you are, sitting on your ass, at your computer, reading jokes.

Nice. Real nice

**(this did say 85 million but it was brought to my attention that the numbers just didn't add up - oopsy - anyway it was intended as a bit of humor, not a statement of fact) :-)
