Television Trivia - I need help figuring out what this quote means from a televison show.


Expert: Paul Goebel - 9/8/2009

Question
Recently, I watched a South Park episode called "Fishsticks". In this certain scene, that takes place in the cafeteria, Kyle Brovfloski explains to Craig Tucker that Eric Cartman should'nt take any credit for the fishsticks joke that Jimmy Volmar came up with and Craig's response back to Kyle was simply, "Yep. And If I had wheels, I'd be a wagon." What did Craig mean by this comment and what exactly, if he was, trying to express to Kyle? I would greatly apperciate it if you can help me out on this one.

Answer
Before I answer, please keep in mind that the quote has nothing to do television or TV trivia.

It's a common quote, sometimes worded differently; "If my grandma had balls, she'd be my grandpa," or "If I had a crown, I'd be the Queen of England."

The point of the saying is to point out that things are the way they are and sometimes there is nothing that can be done about it.

Craig does not have wheels and never will, therefore it's a waste of time to worry about being a wagon.

In other words, ifs and buts don't matter in real life.

In the future, you should probably ask your parents, teacher or friends questions like this instead of soliciting strangers on the Internet.
