I always think of the phrase: "Imagine how dumb the average human is. Half the population is dumber than that."

Ackshually that would be the median human

Since IQ follows a normal distribution mean and median are the same.

At least on average.

Don't be mean.

Reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones in MIB: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."

A better way I like to use is: "Even if I'm the average person, half of all others are dumber than me". I may be above or below average, but I feel it gets the point across better because you have a reference point.
