Default Why Math Is Taught In School

I was driving to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing him to have to drive onto 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. 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, figure I pass at leastÊanother 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass every day.

Statistically, half of these are driven by females. That's 18,000 women drivers! In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That's 642.
Ê
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 carryÊweapons, and this number is increasing. That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY,ÊI drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinksÊmenÊare her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.

ÊFlip one off? ... I think not.


Take care,
ÅChris

Wait, you drive 48 miles to work? Where is your shop? Camarillo or SB?

So, what about the GOOD female drivers...regardless of thier 'cycle'.
Ive come across some dumbass guys on the road, that cant blame it on estrogen(obviously), thier just plain clueless.
I know my self...I am the first to be curtious....especially with bikers too...been there, done that. The AVERAGE person has no respect for them.
How come noone came up w/ statistics for MEN when they are having TESTOSTERONE problems....????? EVERYTHING is always blamed on PMS and women......
GO FIGURE?

Talking Have a DI*%

Topless,

I have found that although we secretly rule the world, to use the gentlemen's tactics back at them is a waste of time. Unfortunately, they are endowed with things we need. And I'm not talkin' wrenches and tool boxes here!

So Rule on Sister! (Oops I think I just let out our secret!)
