Default Is it okay to laugh

A lady I know (real nice, not so bright) has spent the last few months asking me about my motorcyle, telling me how she has always dreamed of owning a Harley. I told her that it is a great hobby but start small and get some sort of safty training. Well of couse she did not listen. She got herself a Sportster 1200. Bought it on Saturday, got here motorcycle endorsment on Monday (no riding test required in New Mexico), layed it down on Tuesday. She said that it did about $2,000 worth of damage not including paint. She got away with out a scratch on her.

So knowing that she is fine, is it okay to point at her and laugh while I say "I told you so".

But seriously is there any thing that you can tell a grown adult that will make them stop and think?
