> i don't think anyone has bothered their ass to count all the vowels ...

I think you might be surprised about what "anyone" might bother to do. For instance, in the article which I started to quote above, there where 705 consonants and 448 vowels. A consonant was followed by a vowel 53.9% of the time and a vowel was followed by a consonant 85.0% of the time.
