<<PS: Do you know how to spell anorexic? >> We hear the word but it doesn't exist. Anorectic describes the person. You need to get the Lands End catalog, they have lots of neat stuff, both ladies and mens. Or go to a Victoria's Secrets. Sexy stuff in all sizes. Lands End has a web site landsend.com

"Why Am I Tired?" Something that has got me wondering... 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 the U.S. 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. It's no wonder I'm tired!
