Inane newsreader
Last night everyone was watching the evening news. Gasoline [a.k.a. "petrol"] prices have recently risen.
The news lady said "The average price of petrol averaged $1.21 per litre today in Brisbane. Some consumers paid even more."
And "averages" are derived -- how? ;)
(One would presume some consumers also paid less. Magic!)

But he does do informal consulting on social-statistical matters. :)
