Be Kind to Women Drivers.......
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. This evidently infuriated the driver 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 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'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, 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.
