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 behind, at your computer, reading jokes.
Nice. Real nice.
(Thanks to my brilliant aunt who sends me the best jokes. I love you!)

Ha ha. got me.
If it is up to just us, we is in biiiiiiiiigg trouble!
Actually your aunt made a mistake. There are 5002 to do the work because 55 million minus 35 million leave 20 million, not 15 million. :::grin:::
good joke though.
oops. 5,000,002. I made a mistake too.
Therese! You math genius! You're absolutely right. I guess I'll have to let her know that she can breathe a little easier since we have more help than we thought we did.
(Or we could subtract out the children and be right back to 2.)
"you and me..."
Yeah but i'm always out running so that doesn't help.
btw - i'm doing my best to produce future workers and taxpayers who can pay for all the money the government is going to be needing
I am not sure if I want you to know this about me, but I saw this joke on Hee Haw a couple of weeks ago (not exact, but very similar). The reruns are on RFDTV Sunday evenings.
Love, Suzanne
LOL!
