Dear Click and Clack,
The following was copied off my Netscape news page. I know it will appeal to you, as you have ranted--with my agreement--on similar topics, such as cell phones.
Great show,

P.S. I also know the guy who called in this summer about the six replacement transmissions on his Chevy Suburban. You should call him back--he's pushing the next one!
Man Crashes Car As 50 Pagers Ring At Once
KIEV (Reuters)--A Ukraine businessman who bought a pager for each member of his staff as a New Year gift was so alarmed when all 50 of them went off at the same time that he drove his car into a lamppost, a newspaper said Thursday.
The unnamed businessman was returning from the pager shop when the accident happened, the Fakty daily reported. "With no more than 100 meters to go to the office, the 50 pagers on the back seat suddenly burst out screeching. The businessman's fright was such that he simply let go of the steering wheel and the car ploughed into a lamppost."
After he had assessed the damage to the car, the businessman turned his attention to the message on the 50 pagers. It read: "Congratulations on a successful purchase!"
