That was when I discovered in a story in this paper that that there are 45 million Americans between the ages of 35 and 44 - far, far more than any other group. I am in my late 30s, meaning a plurality of all the people in this country are about my age. I not only look like everyone else, I have the same number of gray hairs. The way things are now, even my kids think I'm average. That's just you.
Some people brag about being average.
Truly average American males are not content. Nor have they won a Pulitzer Prize. It takes some accounting, I guess, to discover if you are average. The average American male, for instance, is said to own 450 pairs of underwear over the course of his lifetime, works about 43 hours a week, has sex 79 times each year and, over the course of his life, consumes 310 pigs, according to various unofficial sources. The average American male is also too smart to comment any further, or confirm or deny, the veracity of any of this.
