The White Knight totally "went Rain Man" on Alice when he huffily told her, "Oh, I've had plenty of practice --- plenty of practice!" after she expressed concern about how he kept repeatedly falling off his horse, so perhaps he (and the Red Knight, as well!) was just super-clumsy, and thus no amount of training could significantly improve his horsemanship.

Get the I've had plenty of practicemug. Certain thin/delicate/brittle materials can tear or crack easily when forcibly pierced, so a drill-bit or other awlternative should be used to make damage-free holes.

Get the awlternativemug. An involuntary muscle-twitching dat a camera-shy person feels from either having to press da release-button to take a photo, or when he hears da click of da camera when a picture is being taken of him.
One simple way to mostly eliminate image-blurring from fairly-minor shutter-shudder is to use a fast exposure-speed (and a flashbulb, too, if it's fairly low-light conditions); you may need to use a suitably large lens and wide aperture-setting to accommodate said swift-click camera-snap.

Get the shutter-shuddermug. A total bu**s**t course of action agreed upon by two or more parties; supposedly it comes with benefits for all concerned, but in reality the plan generally ends in disaster, often for everyone involved.
A classic case of a win/win solution "gone sour" --- literally --- would be when a commercial farming-outfit approaches a nearby cash-strapped community to ask if they can pay them some much-needed revenue to dump organic waste in an uninhabited area of the municipality... at first blush it may sound like a good deal, but of course what usually happens in reality is that said waste "stinks to high Heaven" so much that the townspeople angrily vote to close the dump-site, forcing the mega-farm to look elsewhere for a dumpsite, and obliging the town to pay astronomical sums to have the already-dumped waste carted off to be disposed of.

Get the Right back atcha :)mug. The impromptu "time-contest" that you are forced to wage with an approaching vehicle when you step off da sidewalk to pee and there is little concealing "cover"; you therefore have to actively "hurry your bladder" in a desperate effort to "drain yer radiator" quickly enough to "beat da clock" --- i.e., to finish "whizzing" and get your pants zipped back up before the "whizzing" car gets close enough for its occupants to catch sight of you wif yer tallywacker out.
I try to always choose a thickly-vegetated spot in which to take a leak when I'm out walking along country lanes, but occasionally there is such a lengthy stretch of sparse bush-growth that I am unable to "hold it" long enough to eventually reach denser roadside-foliage; I therefore have to "hold a whiz-race" if I hear one or more vehicles approaching in the distance.
