It is a sad day for men young and old

Today while in the box I came up with the clever idea of keeping track of the people who came up in utter confusion of how a gas pump operates. The study was broken down into four different fields. The first was the sex of the individual, male or female. The second was whether the male or female was a younger individual or someone in their later years. After my study I am sorry, but not surprised, to report that the male citizens of my little town, young and old, far outnumbered the females. The ratio I was able to come up with is a close 1-5. This means that for every one female who could not figure out how to work a gas pump there was five males. One of the more baffling things I discovered in my study was the fact that the younger men were dead equal with the older gentlemen I helped. When it came to females coming to ask for help the older women were more likely to not understand what to do. I feel that this is somewhat reasonable considering they have not been surrounded with technology their entire lives. This is not to say that a gas pump is the latest in new technological innovations, I promise you it is not. All that I am trying to say is that the female population of my town is far more intelligent than the male population.
