Averager Than the Average Bear -
16 Nov 1999
Sometimes I wonder about the word "average". The definition in my giant Webster
Dictionary must be wrong because there are some areas in which almost everyone
is one the same side of the average score. Examples: All women are above average
weight. All men are above average length. All people are better than average
drivers.
Somehow this doesn't all fit together, some one should call Webster and tell him
he's wrong, that his definition of 'average' is outdated. The line should read,
"What every one thinks that most other people are". that sounds more accurate to
its modern usage. Worst of all, none of this would have happened if it weren't
for that damn couple kissing on the escalator!!!
Sorry, It's just something that I happen to feel very strongly about.
