The quote makes me think of Franz Kafka's short story "Before the Law".

But what do I know. And I probably should not think too much anyway, hahaha.

It means that you do not have the gumption to take a pitchfork and stab your master in the belly.

I'm sure it means more than that. Did you grow up around farm equipment?

Yes, and I live on a farm, but the reference is to mob revolution. (See the Frankenstein movies.)

Sorry, can't have anything to do with your violent pitch fork fantasies right now. Busy laughing. Major fuck up in the Norwegian state television's news broadcast while introducing a report about poor eye sight and getting your eyes checked out. HAHAHAHAHA!

OK, back to Kafka, violence, captivity and other depressing stuff. Sorry for the interruption, carry on.
