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 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 ALWAYS 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 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 different car
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 34 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 is 642. According to Cosmopolitan, 70% 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 the 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 she does in traffic, I wouldn't DREAM of upsetting her.

Elderly Aunt Grace had an appointment with her doctor to find out what
could be
done about her constipation.
"It's terrible," she said, "I haven't moved my bowels in a week."
"I see. Have you done anything about it?" asked the doctor.
"Naturally," she replied, "I sit in the bathroom for a half
hour in the morning and again at night."
"No," the doctor said, "I mean do you take anything?"
"Naturally," she answered, "I take a book."
