In which ways are you above average?

I'm a rather ordinary sort of person but I am above average in one way:

The average human has less than two legs.

So tell me, in what way are you above average - oh, and boys, before any of you decide to make any boastful posts we already know that they're all average!

If you want to be grammatically correct you'd say "fewer than two legs"
It still wouldn't be true of course
I am more pedantic than average

Since a few humans lack or lose legs, the average number of legs is like 1.99.

I am really good at installing carpet. I spread joy, sunshine, and happiness every day by making people's houses pretty. Installing carpet isn't brain surgery. If you give a crap about how it looks, and do it long enough, you get good at it.

I am very good at staying married to my wife. 16 years, and I haven't pissed her off so much, that she would leave me.

I am excellent at flirting with old ladies. Kind of goes with the carpet installing.

And yes it is above average.

I am above average in reading and interpreting body language. I do very well with people but I am best with animals (cats, dogs, horses, sheep and cattle). My mother was always surprised that I could get the most intractable animals to do what I wanted in a short amount of time.

UT, no no you have to do it in the booming God-terminator voice. It can't sound like Ron Howard.

lol,




I'm not above average in anything, unless it's empathy.

Brave confident people need empathy. Not me.
