What is the meaning of phrase Outside of a dog a book is a man's best friend inside of a dog it's too dark to read?
This is a quote by Groucho Marx. What I think the meaning is is this:
In the first part is it trying to make you think that other than a dog which is called, "man's best friend" a book is probably the best friend of a man (a very good thing to have). In the next part it does the opposite and says that inside of a dog you can't read because it is too dark. It is kind of a trick because 'outside of a dog' can have two different meanings. One meaning is 'other than a dog' and the other is literary on the outside of a dog. I think quote is kind of a joke quote because I find it funny. I hope this helps you to understand the quote!
