Why?

Week with a fool, so i can see what makes them a fool, and what are their mistakes to learn from. A wise man already has learned that.

A DAY with a WISE MAN. Why would you want to spend a week with a fool? Even though I only get 24 hours, at least I have a chance of some of the Wise Man's wisdom to rub off on me. Compared to a week with a fool, his foolishness might cause me trouble. I prefer wisdom rather than foolishness any day. "A conversation across the table with a wise man is better than a ten year study of mere books."

Okay....the honest answer...
Is the fool exceptionally hot????...If so...well, NO BRAINER...I am only human after all...
In all seriousness, however, I have a lifetime to spend with both and I don't have a great deal of choice between the two...I am the Fool, I am the Wise Man...and I wouldn't be the Wise Man if I didn't realize that I was the Fool...and so life continues.;-)

I would rather spend five minutes with a wise man than a lifetime with a fool...
If I could get one bit of advice from a wise man it could change my life forever in a positive way...If I spent a lifetime with a fool what will I have gained? You hang around someone long enough they are bound to rub off...

As much as I'd love to spend a day with a wise man...I'm going to pick...a week with a fool. BECAUSE...my life really needs some light moments in it. There are just TOO many deep ones already.

a day with a wise man.... because it i know there would never be a dull second discussing any topic under the sun with a wise man... a week with a fool would be a week of agony... is there anything significant in this life that i could possibly learn from a fool?

If he (or she!) is a fool in the Shakespearean mold, then I'll take my week with the fool, thank you. Shakespeare's fools were wise enough to realize sometimes the only way to speak the truth and get away with it is to make it funny. I'd much sooner spend a week with Jon Stewart than a day with my college physics professor. Wouldn't you?

Ive spent many weeks with many fools.
Ive also spent many days with many wise men.
Ive learned something from all of them over the years.
Given the choice I'd rather spend my time with a wise man.
They say you are defined by the company you keep. Im too wise to waste my time foolishly listening to a fool, or struggling to guide him in the right direction.
A wise man is worth his weight in gold.

A "Wise Man".
I already know how to be a fool.
