There was this Roman poet, Trilussa, which created a good description of why averages are bad, which is known in Italy as "Trilussa's Chicken"
Roughly translated, it goes as follows:
"Following the current statistics, it turns out you're expected to be able to eat one chicken per year, and, if you can't afford it, it goes into the average anyway, because there's someone else out there eating two".
