A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I'm about $100, 000 short.

Summary

This quote is a humorous and sarcastic response to the question of someone's height. Instead of referring to physical height, the speaker cleverly interprets it as a reference to their financial state following a divorce. The quote suggests that the divorce settlement or financial difficulties resulting from the divorce may have left the speaker significantly lacking or "short" on funds, hence the humorous response of being "$100,000 short." It highlights the speaker's wit and provides a lighthearted perspective on a potentially sensitive topic.

I did not obey your instructions. No. I conformed to the instructions of truth and Nature, and maintained your interest, against your opinions, with a constancy that became me. A representative worthy of you ought to be a person of stability. I am to look, indeed, to your opinions,but to such opinions as you and I must have five years hence. I was not to look to the flash of the day. I knew that you chose me, in my place, along with others, to be a pillar of the state, and not a weathercock on the top of the edifice, exalted for my levity and versatility, and of no use but to indicate the shiftings of every fashionable gale.

Many of the rites of passage, those rituals of growing up found in our society, are in the form of such comic, practical joking affairs--which we ignore in the belief that they possess no deeper significance. Yet it is precisely in their being regarded as unimportant that they take on importance. For in them we ritualize and dramatize attitudes which contradict and often embarrass the sacred values which we proclaim through our solemn ceremonies and rituals of nationhood.
