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 the shoulder. This
evidently pissed the driver off enough that he hung
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 38 miles each way, every day, to work. That's
76 miles, of these, 16 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 34 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 is 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 the 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.
No matter what she does in traffic,
I wouldn't DREAM of flipping her off.
