WHY IS THE FISH YOURS TO GIVE?

Dear VoodooLawyer:
I went around crying "A Kingdom! A kingdom! My horse for a Kingdom!" but nobody took me up on it...nothing but rubes around here. Riding on to the glue factory, I had some time to think about men and fish...


GIVE A MAN A FISH, AND HE EATS FOR A DAY.
GIVE A FISH A MAN, AND HE EATS FOR A WEEK, MAYBE MORE.
GIVE THAT FISH TO A MAN, AND HE EATS FOR TWO DAYS.
GOT IT?

GIVE A MAN A FISH, AND HE WILL THANK YOU SINCERELY.
TEACH HIM TO FISH AND HE TURNS INTO A LIAR.

Tips For Better Living From Your VoodooLawyer

Dear Readers:
"When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail."
"When your only tool is a boomerang, every problem looks like a wallaby."
And when your only tool is a speculum, well, I hate to speculate on what your problems resemble. So my clients, if you can only have one tool, then make sure it's a boomerang, so that your problems seem like wallabies, non threatening and even humorous.

SEE? These problems don't seem so bad, do they? Heck, they are downright cute, I love 'em!!
That's how we keep it between the ditches, here in the swamp, see if the boomerang trick won't work for you.
