Dont flip off women.

Got this off of another forum and I thought it was worthy enough for a post here:
"I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pick-up 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 her off.
"Man that guy is stupid," I thought to myself.
I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female dow anything to me in traffic, and I drive 48 miles each way every day from work. That's 96 miles a 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 4,000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I see every day. Statistically, females drive half of these. That's 18,000 women drivers!
In any given group, 1 in 28 has PMS. That's 642.
According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 642.
According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide and homocide. That's 98.
And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.
According to the NRA, 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 homocide, has PMS, and is armed.
Flip her off? I think not."
[spoiler]Yes, there is a mathematical error in there. Bonus points goes to the guy who can figure it out and post the correct number.[/spoiler]

, I don't yap on the phone while driving unless an ABSOLUTE EMERGENCY.
, luckily I didn't hit that poor driver. Since that day, I learned to just scream at the top of my lungs and keep my arms, hands, and feet steady and calm.
