I not your auto signature states:
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime." -An old chinese proverb
-
While that is the old chinese proverb, this proverb has been modernized since the late 70's to reflect the current times and should be:
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and fhe will eventually die of lead and pcb poisoning"
