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 so if you just
look at the 7 lanes I am not in, that means I pass something like a
new car every 40 feet per lane.
That's 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 I pass every
day.
Statistically, half of these are driven by females, that's 18,000.
In any given group of females 1 in 28 are having the worst day of
their period. 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, is having the worst day of
her period, and is armed.
Flip one off?
.....I think not.
