500,000 Drivers Talking on Cell Phones;
Poets Implicated
by Joe Futrelle

An NHTSA study found that at any given moment in time, there are 500,000 U.S. drivers talking on cell phones. This works out to roughly 2 out of 10 doctors.

A related study found that at any given time, there are 175,000 people in the U.S. reading, watching, or listening to news stories about studies about cell phone use in cars.

A further related study found that there are between 2 and 3 people in the U.S. reading poems about reports about studies of car cell phone use. If only they knew each others' cell phone numbers.
Whether or not gentlemen prefer blondes has yet to be investigated.
