  It is a statistical truism that half of all dealers will have an above
average proportion of sales that end up in criminals' hands (or
whatever.)

(cf. "ALL OF THE CHILDREN ARE ABOVE AVERAGE" - registered trade or
service mark - see http://www.prairiehome.org/content/trademarks.shtml )

  It gets even worse - if all of the "above average" dealers are put out
of business, the next year there will still be half above average! (At
least until the number of dealers is reduced to only one - and than
there will be no dealers left below average.)
