Saw this statement recently: -

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach the man to fish and he will go out and buy the best fishing tackle he can afford, and he will be lucky if he even uses his new fishing tackle twice a year, while leaving it collect dust at the back of the garage in the corner.

That reminds me. I grew up in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where we had many bridges. One bridge dad would drive across to get to a fishing spot was made out of wooden planks and they were very loose! As he drove slowly across, each plank made a noise like the bridge was falling apart!!!

He had a couple of other fishing spots that were rather scary, too.... including walking across a train trestle. You could see the river water under you as there were huge gaps between each wood plank on the trestle. Also, we hurried across because we didn't want a train to come while on the trestle!

Oh, those were the days...1950s, early 1960s.
