WHY CANADIANS ARE SO TIRED, A CONVERSATION BETWEEN KIARA AND KRAFTY
For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep, not enough sunshine, and too much pressure from my job, ear wax build-up, poor blood or anything else I could think of. But now I found out the real
reason:
I'm tired because I'm overworked! Here's why:
The population of Canada is 30 million.
11 million are retired, that leaves 19 million to do the work.
There are 5.5 million in school, which leaves 13.5 million to do the work.
Of this there are 3 million employed by the federal government, leaving 10.5 million to do the work.
1 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing terrorists, which
leaves 9.5 million to do the work.
Take from that total the 7 million people who work for Provincial and Municipal Governments, and that leaves 2.5 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 476,000 people in hospitals, leaving 2,024,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons and 812,000 on Employment Insurance and Welfare.
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.

Maggie, I doubt Kiara is as hard working as I am - you give her w-a-y too much credit. Also, your post didn't mention how much better looking I am than Kiara which should be the apex of any post about me. I'll give you time to edit it then I'll come back and check.
