A little humor from my apprentice mechanic and lovely wife….

This is why math is taught in school.

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 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 least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something
like 36,000 cars that I pass everyday.

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. 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 considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.

Flip one off? … I think not.
