Experience is a good school, but the fees are high.”

- Heinrich Heine

aok, you reminded me of another one...not sure who said it: Experience is a hard teacher...it gives the test first and then the lesson.

A biology teacher wished to demonstrate to his students the harmful effects of alcohol on living organisms. For his experiment, he showed them a beaker with pond water in which there was a thriving civilization of worms. When he added some alcohol into the beaker the worms doubled-up and died.
"Now," he said,” what do you learn from this?"
An eager student gave his answer.
"Well the answer is obvious," he said " if you drink alcohol, you'll never have worms."

That ought to discourage them!
