About This Quote

An excellent example of a pun. Since the main character is a man made of metal, he must have a strong deodorant to keep him from smelling. In the process of being made strong enough for King Kong, he has been made weak. In order to get stronger, he must go through a process where he becomes vulnerable and weaker. This is a very good example of how language can be used to show just how insignificant we are in comparison to everything that surrounds us.
