Remember, nearly everyone has more than the average number of legs.
Depends on the definition of the term "average", which is often used loosely, especially by politicians telling porkies.

If you mean mean, OK. But if you mean median, it's not quite the same as I'm sure you know. (PEDANT MODE OFF).

PS; I've now got a problem trying to work out the median number of legs of a group of 100, 99 of whom have 2 legs, and one is deficient by 1 leg. Mean is 1.98 legs per person, and I guess the median is 2, but the lunchtime glass is intervening.
