Something for men to think about

I read this on another website.

Subject: Something for men to think about
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 to 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, 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 considered suicide or homicide, has PMS,
and is armed.
Flip one off? ... I think not.

And 99.9% of statistics are made up on the spot.

most of those statistics are prolly in 1 person, ie. a suicidal person AND is armed AND is not having a statisfying sex life... so you're counting the same person 3x!!!

you need to make a venn diagram!

and, I'm not too worried about women with guns, they'd prolly shoot themselves in the foot before they hit me. JK!!!
