Most people have more balls than there are stars in our solar system.

Wait, are you counting ovaries?

The average human has somewhere between 1.1 and 1.4 testicles.

Late edit: I was not sober when I wrote this and I definitely did the math wrong.

Considering 50% of the population doesn't have testicles, the average being over 1 indicates that there are a few million people with 3 testicles.

But there are also many men with one or zero probably more than people with three so it should probably net to less then 1 average. Unless you count prosthetic testis in the total.

If you're counting prosthetics, then there could be one guy really bringing up the average.
