I was driving 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 gave the woman 'the eagle' "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.
**** one off?
...I think not.
