A man who knows his place

I was riding to work yesterday when I observed
a female driver,who 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 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 homicide, has PMS, and is armed.

Give her the finger?

I don't think so.
