This week "How I Met Your Mother" continued its groundbreaking examination of life's mysteries by profiling girls in bars who scream "wooo." As anyone who's been to Spring Break knows, it's not just whistles that go "wooo." Girls, typically found in bars playfully (and loudly) insulting each other between sips of bay breezes - woo, too. What could possibly possess otherwise intelligent women to shriek like banshees when placed in groups?
Personally, I think the recently deceased "TRL" is to blame, but this episode offered another theory: According to Robin and Lily's scientific inquiry, the culprit is desperation. The women cling together to hide their frustrations with not having husbands, children, or direction in their lives, and a cathartic "wooo" drowns out inner screams of lonliness. A sound theory, perphaps. But the fruity cocktails they've been gulping all night also probably factor into hollering like an idiot, too.
