WHY I AM  KNACKERED?


Yes, I'm  knackered.


For several years I've been  blaming it on age, poor blood, lack of vitamins, air pollution, saccharin,  obesity, dieting, under arm odour, yellow wax build-up and another dozen  maladies that make you wonder if life is really worth  living?


  I'm  knackered because I'm overworked...............................


  The population of this  country is 51 million.

  21 million are  retired.


  That leaves 30 million to do the  work.


  There are 19 million at  school.


  That leaves 11 million to do the  work.


  2 million are unemployed and 4 million are  employed by the government to look after us.


  That  leaves 5 million to do the work.


  One million are in the  armed forces, which leaves 4 million to do the work.


  3  million are employed by County and Borough Councils to help the government to  look after us.


  That leaves one million to do the  work.


  There are 620,000 people in hospital and 379,998  in prisons.


  Which leaves 2 people to do the  work.


  You and me.


  And you are  sitting on your arse reading this.


  No wonder I'm bloody knackered!
