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.

The body relaxed, and instantly grew stiff. The struggle was over. The insignificant little creature now knew death. As I looked at the dead moth, this minute wayside triumph of so great a force over so mean an antagonist filled me with wonder. Just as life had been strange a few minutes before, so death was now as strange.
