Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker dismisses the value of opinions by comparing them to something everyone has but nobody necessarily wants to hear about. It's a blunt, crude way of saying that having a viewpoint isn't special or impressive. The humor comes from deflating self-important commentary with an earthy comparison.
