How to Answer a Fool?

I read the following verses from the Bible this morning:

"Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes." (Proverbs 26:4-5)

It is a good reminder that sometimes we might want to answer a fool according to his folly, and other times we don't. Do you want to be like the fool? Do you want that fool to think he is wise?
