Advice From An Old, Wise Woman

The oldest and wisest woman in the village was celebrating her 104th birthday, and everyone came to the party.
As they all sat together on the porch
drinking lemonade and watching the sun set,
a young woman asked the wise woman,
"How does one become wise?"
The old woman thought for a long time.
 Finally she answered, "Good judgement."
"Then how does one gain good judgement?"
The old woman thought for a longer time.
  Finally,she answered, "Experience."
"Then how does one gain experience?"
The old woman thought for a very long time.
  Finally she grinned, lifted her glass,
and answered, "Bad judgement"
