The straightforward reading of "how small I really am" means he feels humbled by the sea and recognizes his insignificance on this planet. This is a common sentiment expressed in poetry and literature. And blogs. |
− | The final line ''I should get one of those pumps'' | + | The final line ''"I should get one of those pumps"'' could mean that Cueball intends to diminish the size of the ocean by somehow pumping the water somewhere else. This is patently absurd, but water is the most common element that is associated with pumps, so it is a natural first thought. |

Further consideration of the lines "how small I really am" and "I must get one of those pumps" leads to a second interpretation. When a man refers to "one of those pumps", he could mean a {{w|Penis_pump}}, a device that is alleged to permanently increase the size of the male member.
