[BITList] This man knows his math...and women!

[franka]

                I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female
                driver, who cut
                right in front of a pick-up 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
                consideredboth suicide and homicide, has PMS, and is armed!

                Give her the finger?

                I don't think so.
