Tim Minchin's musings on Tony, the first 'fish' ever to have feet: Imagine what Tony would think, standing there on his brand new feet on the brink of the beginnings of mankind as we know it.. if he could look forward just a few short.. hundreds of millions of years.. to see one of his descendants.. an Israeli Jew by the name of Jesus, having a nail hammered through his feet.. the very feet that Tony provided him with, as a punishment for having a, sort of, schizophrenic discourse with a God who was created by Mankind to explain the existence of feet in the absence of the knowledge of the existence of Tony.Tim Minchin
About This Quote
Imagine what Tony would think, standing there on his brand new feet on the brink of the beginnings of mankind as we know it. Tony is the first fish that ever had feet. He was born without them. He used to walk around on all fours.
Imagine what he would think if he could see Jesus, his descendant, nailed to a cross with his feet nailed to it. What he would think is that Jesus was punished for having a conversation with God about feet in the absence of the knowledge of Tony's existence.
