- Synopsis
- Polly is an opinion pollster bored with her job. As a gag, she fills out a form herself. When the head of the polling company calls her into his office, he tells her that the polls from each street were analysed and her street matched exactly with the average. When she sees the historic form, she realizes it is the form she filled out as a gag. Expecting to be sacked, Martin is thrilled because they can just use her instead of sending out pollsters. Martin wants her to stay just the way she is to be useful, but Polly doesn't want to be just average.
