KLBC: Why we're all so tired



WHY WE'RE ALL SO TIRED
(nice number practice) 
(mI'mey qeq QaQ)

For a couple years I've been blaming it on iron poor blood, lack of vitamins,
dieting and a dozen other maladies. But now I found out the real reason.  I'm
tired because I'm overworked.
qaSpu' tera' DIS puS 'Iw *vitamines* roptaHghach je vI*blaim*pu'.
'ach DaH meqna' vISampu'.
jIvumpu'chu'mo' jIDoy'. 

The population of the USA is 237 million. 
*USA* DabtaH cha'vatlh wejmaH Soch 'uy' Humanpu'.

104 million are retired.  
vum rIntaH wa'vatlh loS.

That leaves 133 million to do the work.  
vum wa'vatlh wejmaH wej 'uy' neH.

There are 85 million in school, which leave 48 million to do the work. 
DuSaQDaq ghojtaH chorgh vagh 'uy'. vumqu' loSmaH chorgh.

Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government. This leaves
19 million to do the work.

Four million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 15 million to do the work.
yo'Daq loS 'uy' tu'lu' vaj vumtaH wa'maH vagh neH.

Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City
Government and that leaves 200,000 to do the work.
DaH qumvaD vum wa'maH loS chorghbIp Human 'ej vumqu' cha'bIp.

There are 188,000 in hospitals, so that leaves 12,000 to do the work.
*hospital*meyDaq wa'vatlh chorghmaHchorghSaD tu'lu' vaj vum wa'maH cha'SaD.

Now, there are 11,998 people in Prisons. That leaves just two people to do
the work.  You and me.

And you're sitting there playing around on email.
