One of the most memorable expressions of Gomer Pyle, the dimwitted Mayberry mechanic who became a bumbling Marine, was this gem:“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
Anyone can be fooled by a conniving person once. When the victim realizes that he has been taken advantage of, however, it behooves him to be wary of the person who took advantage. To let oneself be fooled by that same person again is just plain stupid.
Even stupider would be to broadcast the account of the second transgression and let the whole world know how flat your learning curve is.
