Summary

This quote humorously suggests that individuals who possess a vast vocabulary and are able to skillfully incorporate complex words into their sentences will likely escape the need for physical labor. The implication lies in the belief that those with extensive linguistic abilities are often considered intelligent or skilled, making them more likely to obtain prestigious or intellectually demanding occupations that do not require manual labor. Thus, the quote playfully implies that a strong command of language can potentially exempt one from engaging in physically demanding work.
