At least in Italy. Researchers there took away the cell phones of 300 people for two weeks just to see what would happen if they went wireless-less. A lot of those people went haywire! Seventy percent said their lives were empty without their Ericssons, moot without their Motorolas and naught without their Nokias. And, 25% said not having their cell phones had their libidos searching for a signal -- they felt disconnected sexually. That's "amore"! So if you're having trouble, um, "completing a call," maybe you should think Verizon instead of Viagra.
