Here we go again about that Average thingy. Average is not a bad thing. In fact the Average Joe can be quite extrodinary. Its like the boy next door, the one all the girls are searching for. You know the type, not too tall nor too short kinda dark hair except where its starting to gray a bit; he works an average job and drives a Honda or Toyota if he lives in California or a Ford F150 truck in other parts of the country and blends in most situations. He does not stand out too much except when at a party and the wine is flowing which happens on Average maybe once or twice every couple of years – maybe. So whats the big deal its just old Average Joe acting up.

I found this web site where the Average American is discussed. According to CreativeWit the Average Man, “has sixty-nine pounds of muscle, forty-one pounds of bone, three pounds of brain – which seems to explain a lot of things.” I am beginning to understand now.  If you do a search on Google looking for the “Average Man” Yours truely and this web site comes up in the top one or two on the list which is surprising in itself – certainly not below Average. The things you find there on Google are amazing. If you want to know how much semen the Average Man produces its easy to find. Am I interested …… not really, I seem only to be interested in mine. Hmmmmm, where were we, Oh yes Google searching. Try it out yourself just for the Average Fun it could bring you. Now that is a real issue.

What I find most interesting is that the Average Man is really quite extrodinary. As a matter of fact in a recent search the Author Kevin O’Keefe has completed a tour of America in search of the ordinary; a search for the man or woman who represents most definitively all that is average in our country. At the end of the road he discovers that the “Average American” is, up close, rather extraordinary. He wrote a book just to prove it. Amazing the trouble people go to just to prove that they are really exceptional when they are just Average folk which in itself is wonderful.

The joke is that no body wants to be Average. Just look at your local High School campus. Can you find one person trying to be Average, hardly. Most everyone is seeking to be different either exceptional or degenerate but never nondescript or Average. Yet now in my dotage Average seems a good thing or something to be envied. For a competitive soul this all must seem a joke. So on an Average night like tonight I must go to sleep at an Average time like now so that I can get up at a time that Most Average person arise so that I can go to my Average job to help Average people live better Average Lives. Who would have thought it possible?
