If God wanted us to bend over he’d put diamonds on the floor.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that if God wanted people to constantly look down and bend over, then God would have placed valuable diamonds on the ground for people to find. This is the comedian's humorous way of saying that people should not always be expected to look down or bend over, as that would be an inconvenient and uncomfortable way to live.
