Quote by Billy Wilder

I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.

I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.

Summary

This quote humorously expresses a personal reason for not attending church. The speaker finds kneeling during religious rituals uncomfortable because it causes their nylons (a type of hosiery) to get baggy or misshapen. It presents a lighthearted perspective on attendance at religious services, suggesting that a practical inconvenience can sometimes be a factor in one's decision to skip such events.
