Wisdom is knowing that it doesn't belong in a fruit salad.

That can be said for sooo many food items. Wonder what the communication was when the first egg was eaten. "Hey, let's eat that thing that dropped from that birds butt." Or something to that effect.

I knew there was a reason I don't eat eggs.
Oysters are highly overrated. I tried a dozen once, and only six of them worked.
How about a lobster or a crab?
Hey! I'll bet that great big scary looking water bug would taste delicious!
(The fact that they are delicious is beside the point)

Knowledge can be acquired by experience. Wisdom only comes when we are able to learn from the experience of others.

How about the first guy that decided that he was going to nail a metal shoe on the hoof of a 600 lb horse?
Wisdom is using experience to a good end.

I r intellagint, but what does that have to do with my teeth?
Intelligence is to know the answer to "Does this make my butt look big?".
Wisdom is working around the answer.

Wisdom is knowing that an oyster is better if you shuck it before eating it.

Intellegence: She asks " If I die today which of my girlfriends would you want to be with?" Knowing there is no answer that doesn't include a beating. Wisdom is complementing her girlish figure. Joe

Wisdom is knowing she eventually is going to ask one of those questions; intelligence is knowing how to fake a coughing fit and not having to answer.
Intelligence is your IQ.
Wisdom is not telling anyone what your IQ is.

EXPERIENCE
One of my Ancient Chinese Proverbs I just made up-
Experience is what you get right after you need it.
