In Poland we use "on average, me and my dog have three legs"

In Latvia, we say "on average, all have no potato." Then we are sad.

The rest is only hallucination from malnutrition and death

I dunno, I saw lots of potatoes in Riga!! :)

The saying dates back to before the discovery of the New World, when in fact no one in Latvia had potatoes.
