I don’t excercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.
Meaning of the quote
The quote is suggesting that Joan Rivers does not exercise because she believes God would have made it worthwhile for her to bend over, such as by placing diamonds on the floor. In other words, she is humorously saying that if God wanted her to exercise and bend over, he would have provided a good reason for her to do so, like having valuable diamonds to find. The quote is an amusing way of saying that she does not feel compelled to exercise if there is no obvious reward for doing so.
