Multiple event handlers in .change() method?

Pretty simple syntax question.

Can I have more one event handler in a change function (or other functions, while I'm at it)?

So something like this:

$("#ctlPerson").change(function() {

to something like this

$("#ctlPerson", "#ctlPerson2", "#ctlPerson3" ).change(function() {

EDIT:

Ok you guys seem to think this works. But it doesn't.

If I were to have 

$("#ctlPerson").change(function() {

and 

$("#ctlPerson2").change(function() {

these would both would. However, this: 

$("#ctlPerson", "#ctlPerson2").change(function() {

does not work for me

Not as separate strings. jQuery() doesn't use multiple arguments in that manner.

But, a single string can use the Multiple Selector:

$("#ctlPerson, #ctlPerson2, #ctlPerson3").change(function() { ... });

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/XNY7E/

Though, you might consider assigning common class names to each element and using a class selector:

<select id="ctlPerson" class="ctlPeople"></select>
<select id="ctlPerson2" class="ctlPeople"></select>
<select id="ctlPerson3" class="ctlPeople"></select>

$('.ctlPeople').change(function () { ... });
