Driving Math
A Male Driver's Observation:
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 to
avoid hitting her.
This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm 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 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 a new car something like 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.
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.
This 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.
Flip one off?
I think not. "Sir Bill"
