A Trivia Tidbit in Search of a Cause

In China, 84 percent of all car buyers are first-time buyers.

I've known that for a month now, and I've been trying to figure out what to do with it. Was there some analogy, perhaps, with first-time visitors to my church? None that I've been able to find.

The United States probably passed that 84 percent mark in the 1940s. But during periods in my life, I'm sure 84 percent of all cell-phone buyers were first-time buyers, and likewise with computer buyers, home cable installers, and even color TV buyers.

So, I don't know, there you have it--a useless fact. Hope you can figure out what to do with it.
