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
city
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 I.

And there you are at your computer, reading jokes.

Nice.

Real nice.
11 million are retired? I don't think so.

Canada's armed forces have 1 million people in them? I don't think so.

Canada's population is closing in on 34 million.

Those are some wacky stats.
