By itself, "deep pockets" usually means "wealthy, rich."
"Short arm" by itself means something that's not appropriate for kids ... you can probably guess based on that what particular anatomical feature is being referred to.
However, in the combination "deep pockets, short arms" it means that your arms aren't long enough to reach to the bottom of your pockets and get your money out ... in other words, you don't pay for anything, but expect other people to "pick up the check" for you.
