This, ladies, gentlemen, & all other variadic param[] of polymorphic gender identifier: average is just about useless when your income distribution is skewed to hell.

The following elaboration of ‘skewed to hell’ brought to you by our grammatical sponsor(s) who felt a single sentence would be asking a bit much:

• skewed to hell:
• much like a contemporary Big Box Home Improvement™ 2x4^†,
• even after you have laboriously picked through the entire 2 pallets of this week’s pathetic delivery of stock,
• each one weighing as much as an Olympic bar (~45 pounds for the metric challenged),
• overladen with pumped-up moisture content,
• with employees giving you the stink-eye because their boss is the assistant viceroy to the vice-supervisor II who reports ‘directly’ to the district junior manager of "end-cap yo’ ass from on high I crave the retail facing’,
• trying in vain to select the most choice and optimal specimens,
• still ending up not being able to see anything but sap, knots, and disappointment as you look down the length,
• as you strain to assess its deviation from a long-lost baseline against the fluorescent lights,
• activating your ADHD superpowers,
• contemplating economic and environmental policy failures of multiple decades,
• questioning your life choices,
• ultimately defending a clumsy attack on your sensibilities by the special human who parked blocking the store entrance and hotdog stand because it can’t be arsed to use a parking spot and would not be qualified to park in the ‘pro contractor’ area anyway as judged by peers

Regardless, the income distribution is about as normal, perky, and bell-shaped as a Petunia in Death Valley.
