I like that old Jewish proverb:

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me

I also never lend anyone money beyond what I am willing to later grant as a gift, 'cause if they need money now, they will probably need money later...

The study found that 60 percent of people lied at least once during a 10-minute conversation and told an average of two to three lies.

Yeah, like "Oh, I'm glad you called".

BTW: I'm in the 40% minority. If someone or something bothers me, I usually tell them... unless it's Japanese telemarketers... then I just hang up.
