There has to be a mean and a median and an average, or we couldn't have the discipline of statistics - which would well and truly put pollsters out of work, setting back our evolution of kinetic ancestors here now..
If I grant that Lance Armstron is more evolved, I have to believe that Uncle Wheezy is less evolved, and - as he is on a nearby limb of my family tree - that I am less evolved. Being that I have thumbs, I say I am as evolved as any man, no matter where I keep 'em.
Now, you show me a fella who has had a full-blown thumbectomy, we can talk. That guy? NEVER gonna hitch a ride, NEVER gonn be a movie critic, NEVER gonna follow the various rules of thumb - he has been pushed backwrds on the evolutionary ladder. I won't have a fella like that in my camp. Cripples and retards put me right off my feed. Midgets, too. And they draw predators.
No sir. Won't have it.
