Fooling me and its consequences

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me three trimes, punch myself in the balls, drink heavily.
Fool me four times, seriously, knock it off with the fooling me.
Fool me five times, shame on a malevolent universe presided over Wakdjunga the Trickster (note: only applies if member of the Winnebago tribe).
Fool me six times, finally look up the words “prestidigitation” and “legerdemain” in the dictionary; begin to question the wisdom of engaging in a 6-times-or-nothing bet with someone whose business card contains both of these words.
Fool me seven times, surreptiously plot your murder, but am too shame-filled to act on it.
