Some mornings on my way into work I like to listen to a segment on a local Detroit radio station called "impossible trivia." They ask questions like "44% of all women wear this to bed every night" (answer: makeup) and "what's the first place most women experience their first kiss?" (answer: their back yard).The other day I heard one that caught me off guard. The question was "the average woman does this 47 times a year....the average man, only 7."
My guess was "wash their sheets" which I know is really harsh on guys but guys sort of have a reputation for that kind of thing. But anyway, I was wrong. The answer was "cry."
You know what my first thought was? "Only 47?" Then I realized that's nearly once a week, which is sort of a lot. For a second I worried that I might cry more than the average woman but I think I just have a loose definition of crying. I mean, I can easily get a tear in my eye at the end of a sad movie or tv show...or even a commercial.

But in those cases I'm talking about a single-tear-quick-wipe-nobody-noticed ("there's something in my eye") type of crying. Do each of those tears count as a crying session?
I was also surprised that men cry 7 times a year. Do you think that's accurate? And what do men cry about? My guesses: sports, movies about sports, Magnum mustache envy, women (?), and lastly sports. Am I close?
