Respecting Women Drivers - Cars and Driving
I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pick-up truck causing him to have to drive on to 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
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 are 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 924 cars every
mile, or 29,568 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 34,000
cars I pass every day.
Statistically half of these are driven by females,
that's 17,000. In any given group of females, 1 in
28 are having the worst
day of their period. That's 528.
According to
Cosmopolitan, 70% describe
their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding.
That's 369.
According to
the National Institutes of Health, 22% of all
females have seriously
considered suicide or homicide. That's 81
and 34% describe men as their biggest problem, that's 27.
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 they do in traffic, I wouldn't DREAM
of flipping off a lady driver
