We are in trouble...


The population of this country is 300 million.


160 million are retired.



That leaves 140 million to do the work.




There are 85 million in school.





Which leaves 55 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 preoccupied with killing Osama
Bin-Laden.



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 ***,





At your computer, reading jokes.





Nice. Real nice.

55 - 35 = 15?

Guess that leaves another 5 million to do the work, so I'll continue to sit back and read jokes.

I have no hope that there will be any "Social Security" when I finally reach that age, but good to see that you remain focused on the opportunity Mike!

Then I'm gonna spend yours too. If I can get Larry's as well, it may just cover a race season.

I think the problem is that somebody already spent it....

Seems like something my dad would say... Guess he's looking to have me support his track habit when I graduate (next December, btw).
