I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right
infront of a pickup truck, causing him to have to drive onto 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, figure I pass at least another
4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass
every day. Statistically, half of these are driven by females. 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 Institute 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.
