On what planet?  Those of us with IQs higher than shoe sizes
(and probably most telemarketers) can cradle a telephone handset
between head and shoulder...  Do you lack a neck?

I'm certain having both hands on the wheel might make the difference
between first and second place at the Indy 500, but I assure you
I can take one hand from the wheel on a fairly regular basis...

Or have you forgotten how a manual transmission works?
Which, now that I think about it (a process entirely foreign to
you I'm sure) most Indy 500 winners do regularly as well.

The only crack in my bathroom gets washed when I take my shower.
