Bill, Jim, and Scott were at a convention together and were sharing a large suite on the top of a 75 story sky scraper. After a long day of meetings they were shocked to hear that the elevators in their hotel were broken and they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get to their room. Bill said to Jim and Scott, "Let's break the monotony of this unpleasant task by concentrating on something interesting. I'll tell jokes for 25 flights, and Jim can sing songs for 25 flights, and Scott can tell sad stories the rest of the way." At the 26th floor Bill stopped telling jokes and Jim began to sing. At the 51st floor Jim stopped singing and Scott began to tell sad stories. "I will tell my saddest story first," he said. "I left the room key in the car!"

If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

OVERWORKED FOR A MOMENT

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:

I'm overworked. Here's why:
- 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 are sitting at your computer reading jokes...
