    The country is in DEEP trouble...

    The population of this country is approximately 4 million.

    1 million are retired.

    That leaves 3 million to do the work..

    There are 1.4 million in school or at Universities.

    Which leaves 1.6 million to do the work.

    Of this there are 0.5 million employed in the Civil Service.

    Leaving 1.1 million to do the work.

    0.2 million are in the armed forces and the Gardai trying to keep the
    peace in God-forsaken territories and on the North side .

    Which leaves 0.9 million to do the work.

    Take from that total the 0.2 million people who work for Local County
    Councils. And that leaves 0.7 million to do the work.

    At any given time there are 0.65 million people in hospitals, on the
    dole or claiming Invalidity Benefit.

    Leaving 50,000 to do the work.

    Now, there are 35,000 people on holidays and 14,998 people in prisons.

    That leaves just two people to do the work.

    You and me.

    And there you are,

    Sitting on your arse,

    At your computer, reading jokes.

    Is it any wonder that we are in such a mess and that I am stressed out
    through trying to cope on my own?
