The Average American

With all this talk about average Joes and plumbers and such, I've been digging around trying to find the answer to one question: who is The Average American?

Well, someone actually wrote a book on the topic. So take a look at some findings. How average are you?

According to the book, The Average American:

• Eats peanut butter at least once a week

• Prefers smooth peanut butter over chunky

• Can name all Three Stooges

• Lives within a 20-minute drive of a Wal-Mart

• Eats at McDonald's at least once a year

• Takes a shower for approximately 10.4 minutes a day

• Never sings in the shower

• Lives in a house, not an apartment or condominium

• Has a home valued between $100,000 and $300,000

• Has fired a gun

• Is between 5 feet and 6 feet tall

• Weighs 135 to 205 pounds

• Is between the ages of 18 and 53

• Believes gambling is an acceptable entertainment option

• Grew up within 50 miles of current home
