What if I was Average?

What if I was five foot something,
maybe one-thirty to one-eighty or so.
What if I existed only to fulfill a curve?
To fulfill statistical obligations?
It's not difficult to imagine.

the bureaucratic world loves statistics..we must all be reduced to being
entered into a software package that ignores everything that is important ....well done

What if I had an IQ of 115?

I am within one standard deviation of the norm
In that normal bell curve
I am in the big fat hump

Everybody is smarter than me, John Kerry (120), George W Bush(125)
Nothing wrong with being average
as long as you know it.


I probably missed the subtext

Statistical obligations
to have one and a half children I suppose.

Dam clay
I was adding that bit about statistical obligations while you were posting yours
great minds I guess.

sorry mark,
you don't qualify
you don't have 2.4 kids and 1.6 wives
$10,000 in credit card debt and an adjustable mortgage
you don't even listen to Rush Limbaugh
you just don't fit the demographic
you'll skew all the surveys
they won't get the results that they want

i was hanging out on the ship's sponson with a buddy of mine one evening. some fellow he knew passed by and said "hey, asshole!"

my friend replied : "call me whatever you want but never call me average." we continued talking as his acquaintance kept walking.

Oh god forgive me
if mnaz won't

Lies all lies
No sense me trying to be humble about my asshole
I am in the 99th percentile of smart asses
My ass hole is the mightiest ass hole to ever fart this earth
You could fit Saturn and its rings in my asshole
and still have room for its moons

I know this is true by extrapolating from the number of opinions I have.
I hardly have enough bodily orifices to express all my opinions and I can sit on an ice cream cone and tell you what flavor it is.

Oh lordy
sometimes I think the most important attribute an aspiring writer can have is a high threshold for the pain of embarrassment.
