Question

Why is it Average Joe and not, say, Average John?

Think about it.

    Oh, that one's easy! It's not to be confused with John Doe, a nameless corpse. Other than that, Johns are outhouses, commodes, bathrooms, latrines. Joe goes along more with G.I. Joe, and natives called our soldiers Joe in Korea and Vietnam.

    For the longest time, Joe and John were very popular names. The phonebook is full of John Smiths, no matter which one you pick up.
