Almost everyone already has more than the average.
If you need one, you can almost always find someone to give one to you.
Even if you are a dummy.

I can't see how hand could be it considering the first hint. Of course, I haven't come up with anything better but I think there may be.

Most people have two hands, some people have one or zero, but nobody has more than two! So the average (arithmetic mean) number of hands < 2.

Are you sure no one has more than two?

yes, there are.. But they are far outnumbered by those who have one or less..
Although, it depends on what you consider having..
