A MAN WHO KNOWS HIS MATH
He writes:
I was driving to work
yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front
of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto 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 finger.
'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 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 that I pass every day.
Statistically, females
drive half of these.
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.
Give her the finger?
I don't think so.
