TO ALL MALTESE
Yes, I'm tired.
For a couple of years I've been blaming it on middle
age,poor blood, lack of vitamins, air pollution,
mental stress, saccharine,obesity, dieting, under arm
odour, yellow wax build-up, my wife
and another dozen maladies that make you wonder if
life is worth living.
But I have now found out it isn't that at all.
I'm tired because I'm overworked.
The population of this country is 356,000 and 146,000
are retired.
That leaves 210,000 to do the work.
There are 132,000 in schools. That leaves 78,000.
Of this 10,000 are unemployed or do not want to work
and 35,000 are employed by the Government.
That leaves 33,000 to do the work.
3,000 are policemen and soldiers. 15,000 are employed
in the Dockyards and other Parastatal companies,
leaving 15,000 to do the work. There are 700
persons in Prison and in mental Hospitals. There are
13,233 who are sick in hospital or at home.
That leaves 67 persons to do the work. But 65 of
them are in Parliament. That leaves 2 persons to do
all the work. You and me.
And you are sitting on your arse reading this.
No wonder I'm bloody tired
