Sorry coming out of left field here. Trying to make a funny quip about a local political figure on Twitter in relation to homelessness.

I'm trying to tweak the old give a fish, teach to fish saying into a punchline that uses caviar.


Ie. Something like 'John Doe thinks If you give a man a fish, then you have to give him a house and a stove to cook it, that's why he thinks we should give him caviar instead because it's cheaper that way'

I think it could be better, any ideas?

Give a man a fish and tell him if he comes back tomorrow and helps with a project that he will get another fish. Then tell him if he has any hungry friends that like fish, that the same deal is offered.

Once you have the workforce doing the work, you can go fishing everyday to support your crew.

Giving “them” the better of two options, is like giving a man caviar instead of fish so he doesn’t have to cook it.

Let a man sh!t on the sidewalk and he'll then begin to sh!t on you.

If you could work in just eating the caviar to save the life of the fish, you might pull in some of the animal rights activists. Then maybe work in something about a canoe?

Thank you, this is the kind of feedback I was looking for. I didn't realize how people could miss what I think is obvious.

The joke was meant to suggest that he thinks it's a better use of finds to give the homeless caviar, because they can sit on the sidewalk and eat it out of the jar.

I like to mix it with Miracle Whip and pickle relish. It makes a great sandwich spread!

You are going way too high brow for Twitter imo.

If you build a man a fire, he will be warm for a day.
If you set him on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Not what you had in mind...but the first thing that popped into my head...

Give Gavin Newsom a city, he'll turn it into a literal shithole.

Give him an entire state, he'll turn it into a mass exodus.

also: I think you might have more luck going for a "if you give a mouse a cookie" thing more than the 'if you give a man a fish" thing....

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for the rest of his life. Promise to give him a fish and he might vote for you.

No offense, man, but this sounds like a left meme.

The left can’t meme.

Don’t be the left.

ETA:
Teach a man to fish, feed him for life. Give a man a fish and he’ll eventually want caviar.

If you give a man a fish, he would be foolish to catch his own fish. If you fool...well, you can't be fooled into not fishing again.

You should probably just point out the truth. Everything is being so lied about that just pointing out the truth is the best statement
