| I thought the saying was:
| "...teach a man to fish and he learns to sit in a boat and drink beer
| all day..."

actually, man learned to make fire before he learned to fish; the 
original saying is: build a man a fire and he's warm for a day; set a 
man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
