    Courtsey of wet1, I got this morning:(I hope he does not mind)

    For a couple years I 've been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked. The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from the total the 14,800,000 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 you're sitting at your computer reading jokes.

    I got this one in return from Chagur

    Dear Abby,

    My husband is a lying cheat. He tells me he loves me, but has cheated during our entire marriage. He is a good provider and has many friends and supporters. They know he's a lying cheat, but they just avoid the issue. He is a hard worker, but many of his coworkers are leery of him. Every time he gets caught, he just
    denies it all. Then he admits he was wrong, and begs me to forgive him. This has been going on for so long, everyone in town knows he's a cheat. What should I do?

    Dear Frustrated,

    You should dump him. Now that you are a New York
    Senator, you don't need him anymore.

    Abby

    I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pickup truck causing him to have to drive on to the shoulder to avoid hitting her.

    This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and flipped the woman off.

    "Man, that guy is stupid" I thought to myself.

    I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic and here's why:

    I drive 48 miles each way every day to work, that's 96 miles each day.

    Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper.

    Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway so if you just look at the 7 lanes I am not in, that means I pass something like a new car every 40 feet per lane.


    That's 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars.

    Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper to bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars.

    That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars I pass every day.

    Statistically, half of these are driven by females, that's 18,000.

    In any given group of females 1 in 28 are having the worst day of their period. That's 642.

    According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding.
    That's 449.

    According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98.

    And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.

    According to the National Rifle Association 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing.

    That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, is having the worst day of her period, and is armed.

    Flip one off?

    .....I think not.
