I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut
right in front of a pickup truck, causing him to have to drive on to
the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver
enough that he hung his arm out his window and "flipped" the woman
off.
"Man, that guy is stupid," I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile
nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything
to me in traffic,and here's why:
I drive 48 miles each way every day to work. That's 96 miles each
day, Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper.
Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway.
There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be
982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars. Even though the rest of the 32
miles is not bumper-to-bumper,I figure I pass at least another 4000
cars.
That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass
every day.
Statistically, females drive half of these. That's 18,000 women
drivers!
In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That's 642.
According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as
dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449.
According to the National Institutes of Health, 22% of all females
have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98.
And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.
According to the National Rifle Association, 5% of all females carry
weapons, and this number is increasing.
That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female
that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has
seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.
Flip one off? ...... I think not !
(Note...Not me, I'm not that good at math. But I think I'll be nicer to women drivers from now on... LOL)
