I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut 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 because 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

>
> I ride 48 miles each way 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 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 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% of women 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, has PMS, and is armed.
>
> Flip one off? ....... I think not.
