Da term "craveat emptor" can refer to da risk of either (1) someone's purchasing an inferior-quality dress-up accessory, or (2) --- as in da case of da King and Duke in "Huckleberry Finn" --- said purchaser's having said decorative garment used for a very-different and much-less-undesirable application during a "necktie-party" --- i.e., a lynching.

Little did I know that it was just a bunch of boring inedible ROCKS that I hadda laboriously clamber over!

Actually, it would likely have been da other way around --- having no flesh or blood, everyone's favorite puppet most likely could not have gotten a hard-on even if he'd wanted one, plus da elderly carver Geppetto very likely didn't even give Pinocchio a "woodpecker" in da first place. After he became a real boy and was overjoyed to be able to wake up and see his own supple flesh instead of just dense dry tree-fiber, however, he would have also gained all of his "normal male human" bodily organs, and so he might indeed have had to deal with embarrassing "morning wood", especially in a few years when he became a teenager.
