I have never seen a bad television program, because I refuse to. God gave me a mind, and a wrist that turns things off.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker answers complaints about bad television with a joke about refusing to watch it. Intelligence makes the judgment, and a turning wrist supplies the simple action. Claiming never to have seen a bad program exaggerates how completely switching off can settle the matter.
