I like this.

People go on about the "Give me a fish and I'll eat for a day. Teach me to fish and I'll eat for a lifetime." quote all the time, without realising how bloody difficult fishing actually is unless you run a major company with a thousand ships hauling it in by the tonne.

Just give the man a bloody fish.

Be warned: I'm reading a book of aphorisms. It will inspire me to write more like this. Beware a fox with a propensity to quip.
