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.
