MONOLOGUE

GENTLEMEN:
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WORKING THESE DAYS? LET'S
TAKE A LOOK.
THE POPULATION OF THIS COUNTRY IS 160 MILLION, BUT THERE
ARE 62 MILLION OVER 60 YEARS OF AGE, LEAVING 98 MILLION
TO DO THE WORK. PEOPLE UNDER 16 TOTAL 54 MILLION,
LEAVING 44 MILLION TO DO THE WORK.
THEN THERE ARE 21 MILLION WHO ARE EMPLOYED BY THE
GOVERNMENT AND THAT LEAVES 23 MILLION TO DO THE WORK.
TEN MILLION ARE IN THE ARMED FORCES, LEAVING 13 MILLION
TO DO THE WORK. DEDUCT 12,800,000 THE NUMBER IN STATE
AND CITY OFFICES AND THAT LEAVES, 200,000 TO DO THE
WORK. THERE ARE 126,000 IN HOSPITALS, INSANE ASYLUMS
ETC., AND THAT LEAVES 74,000 PEOPLE TO DO THE WORK.
BUT 62,000 OF THOSE ARE BUMS OR OTHERS WHO WILL NOT
WORK, SO THAT LEAVES 12,000 TO DO THE WORK.
NOW IF IT INTERESTS YOU, THERE ARE 11,998 PEOPLE
IN JAIL, SO THAT LEAVES JUST TWO PEOPLE TO DO ALL
THE WORK. AND THIS IS YOU AND ME BROTHER, AND
I'M GETTING TIRED OF DOING EVERYTHING MYSELF.
