Original: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a life time"
Funny version: "Give a man a six-pack and he'll waste an hour. Teach a man to brew and he'll waste a lifetime."
Any others?

Yeah. Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
(fwiw, where I am there's no alcohol allowed while boating. So I can't even have a relaxing afternoon in the boat and have a beer. )

Wheel LOL! :-))
I prefer rum-runners to beer when fishing but driving the boat can become hazardous - not to mention illegal.

Teach a man to use a single computer and he'll work. Teach him how to use the Internet and he'll waste his time searching for p***.
(Of course this statement is not a firsthand account.)

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day Teach a man to fish and he will make 1-mile wide drag nets, catch them all at once, and nobody ever has fish again.

Give a webmaster a fish and he will sell it on Ebay. Teach him to fish, and he will transform this knowledge into original web content and spend the rest of his life checking his AdSense stats hourly.

Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll starve during a drought – that’s what they call a famine.

Build a man a fire and he'll be warm the rest of the night. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.

Give a man a fish, and he'll give you a beer.
Give a man a beer, and he'll give you a toast.
Give a man some toast, and he'll put your fish on it and wash it down with your beer. Don't ever give toast.

Put a fish in beer and it'll drown
Put a man in beer and he'll wonder why he's never done it before, it's great you can wash yourself and drink as much as you want at the same time without the worry of needing to put clothes on...

Buy a fish off a man, and you'll eat for a day.

Give a man a fish and he'll ask why it isnt cover in breadcrumbs.
Or at least in Essex they would.

Hi,
Give a (Scots)man a fish, and he'll ask why it isn't deep-fried in batter and served with "chups" and "salt-n-sauce".
(This is if you can get into his cardiac ward in the first place!)

put a fish in a man's beer, and he might still drink it if it's the last beer
