[I was looking at a site I follow (here) where the author takes a single word and builds a profound statement around it; and, I realized that I am about as profound as a Bazooka Joe comic. But, along those lines, I decided to take something profound and riff on it, like some kind of weird James Thurber beatnik. If you don’t like this, I’ve got a real think-piece on a twelve step program for grizzly bears…]
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give a man a poisoned fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give a man a flash and he can take photographs at night.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you can score with his wife while he’s out fishing.
Give a man a reel and you feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to reel and he can work at Mount Vernon as an historical reenactor…
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give a man a flush and he will definitely beat three of a kind.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give a man an elephant and you’ll feed him for a lifetime.
Give a man a fishing boat and you feed him for a lifetime. Teach a fish to man a boat and he’ll probably flop around on deck before finally suffocating…
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; give a man a fish that vomits rabbit fetuses onto the floor of an abandoned factory and you’ve got the makings of a David Lynch movie.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give a Manischewitz and he’ll be too drunk to remember where he put the fish.
Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day; and, you will make Ayn Rand cry.
I am in too minds whether to share this with my partner since his big plan is to feed us by catching fish while we travel around Australia 🐠

Just don’t tell him that you want him to feed you for the rest of your life… or you might get an elephant… a MOURNFUL elephant. What a drag!

Thank you, Kris. Let me recommend William Cuppy if you like Thurber. I’m still trying to figure out if I should post my twelve-step program for bears…

Sounds good to me! Bears like 12 steps, they prefer less if they can get to the fish faster, though.
