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 ;)

I'm really good at shit stirring. All I need is a bottle of... oooo what's that, Cutty Sark? Look Out!

I don't understand the premise....in what way does the average human being have fewer than two legs?

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

Ohhhhhh....ta :)

I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

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.

In every way.

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

That's not necessary, he carries a big stick.

lol, :)




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

Brave confident people need empathy. Not me.

I thought that was LJ?

You're thinking of big shtick.

I'm thinking of big schtick....did I say that out loud?

i'm above average at having things that i'm above average at.

Watch this all the way to the end ,

My awesomeness is so above average.

I know that there are some things that I am definitely above average on, and other things that I think I'm above average on. But I don't like talking about them. I toot my horn when I see fit, but most of the time, I just like being me and going about my business.

I can roll perfect cigarettes...

...which for someone who's given up smoking is about as useless a skill as I can imagine...

... almost as useless as the intermittently, brilliant impressions I can do. Note: intermittently...I am better than average at impressions, in that I can't always do an impression, but when I can it's very, very good...

I am above average in my ability to absorb mindless bullshit in my life without actually feeling compelled to kill anyone.

In which ways are you above average?
 

I am originally from Lake Woebegone where all the children are above average......So I guess that's it.

If your IQ is over 100, you're above average.

What's your IQ?

My weight?

Does someone want to explain the question?

Uh, Cicero, is that a trick question where I'm supposed to explain your question about explaining the question or.........um....I'm confused.

Oh, yeah! I'm above average in my ability to get confused.

Damn, if my IQ were my weight, I wouldn't get so confused. Heck, I'd be running this planet!

Is that in kgs or pounds?....coz my weight in kgs would probably equate to the IQ of most of the world leaders.

As a teacher I know that everyone is talented in their own way and no one is average.

I am above average at finding tremendous humor in Sanford and Son. Sure, others find it quite funny, but I, think it is was one of the funniest shows ever. What? You disagree? DO NOT make me come up there and kick your ass!

Finding tha' G-spot.

...knowing what to do with it once found. \o/

I try harder and longer to save/keep/rescue/repair _______ than most people. I make Depression Era savers/fixers look like pikers.

I am at the head of the class in self delusion.

My ability to endure pain, while not unlimited, is considerable.

My optimism makes Nietzsche look like pollyanna.

I am bustier than average. Especially if "average" includes men. :) I also probably read more than the average person my age, and I believe I am more polite than average as well.

I am insightful when I meet people... I can figure them out very quickly.
Both naturally and my acting training.

:joylove:
Surely, you meant to say, "DO NOT make me . . uh . . have the big one! OH NO! 'LIZABETH! 'LIZABETH HONEY, I'M ON MY WAY!!!"

My eyeglasses are much, much thicker than average.

I'm probably above average in apologizing, out of habit - typically, I'm a peace maker. I hate having conflict.

Lack of tact.

Keryx calls me Dr. Cunnilingus, so I must be above average.

compassion.

I'm smarter than the average bear.

But, are you faster?

This thread reminds me of the Breakfast Club.

"I can tape all your buns together."

Oh, and I can do Molly Ringwald's lipgloss trick, but that probably makes me average...or would have in 1984.

I have an above average shoe size...somehow I don't think that will elicit the same response it would if I were a man.

I can relate - (11)

ditto. size 11. And I do get teased, even though I'm not a man. Can't tell you how many beef jerky and meat curtains jokes I've heard...

I'm above average at cooking, gardening, being completely inappropriate, and putting my foot in my mouth.

got pics?:redface:

Must be a big mouth too, if the foot fits. :angel:

It does the job. http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/6...dsmileyzn3.gif

Well, let's see...I am above average because...
1. I have 3 children (not 1.86 which is the average per 2000 census)
2. I have a house that is above average size at 3,400 square feet (average is 2,349 per NPR)
3. I weigh more than the average 6' male (which is supposed to be 190 lbs, yeah right)
4. I own 3 dogs which is above average (1.6 dogs per AVMA.com)
5. I own 6 handguns of various calibers (average 2.7 per gun-owning households, which is roughly about 1 gun per household...this data may be outdated)
6. I make in the top 17% for the annual hosehold income per Wikipedia
7. I have a Master's degree (8.9% of population, also thanks to Wikipedia)
8. I have an IQ that puts me in the top 1/2 of 1%

The things you don't mention reveal a lot.

Absolutely Above Average in All Aspects!

'cept maybe anything involving coordination or common sense. :)

I don't think i'm above average in anything. I'm pretty ordinary when it all comes down to it, and that's how I like it. :)

On work details, I'm not sure if I'm 'above average' when it comes to noticing things that need to be fixed, or just 'above average' about caring. Either way, it's not very endearing. And often a waste of time, on top of it.

I've been working on just letting...it...go, if the details aren't all that important. It's very liberating!

I speak 5 languages, so that's probably above average for the Western world, but that's about it.

I play more musical instruments than the average person (though not all at once :p ).

are you trying to say that you are above average at being average....cuz i aint buying it. i think that its impossible to do that.

nope. I'm saying i'm nothing special.

I think that you are much more modest that average.

Oh I dunno, i'm capable of a good brag when I do something good. ;) I just don't really have any great talents to talk about.
