Refers to how you feel when the electric switch on your car's starter is faulty, and so you sometimes get just a sarcastic-sounding "click" when you turn the key; you then hafta lie down on da wet/muddy ground and crawl under da car to tap on da starter's metal casing with a hammer to get it to whirl over.
I hate it when members of da local deadbeat riff-raff ask me for rides but are never able to pay for my gas, and so I never get very solannoyed if my car's engine chooses not to budge that time when I turn da key, since it totally "lets me off da hook" --- I don't feel particularly concerned because I secretly know dat it's just an intermittent connection inside da starter which is easy to remedy with just a hammer-rap or two, but of course da dim-witted miscreants who asked me for da ride don't have a clue what da problem is --- they assume dat my car is totally inoperative, and so they just irritably hop back out and sulkily stomp off down da road to look for some other soft-hearted sucker from whom to bum a ride.

A half-baked defense-story dat you give to a law-enforcement official in hopes dat he'll believe you enough to give you a farewell-wave and let you go on your way.
In humorist Dave Barry's book, "Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down", he states dat security at airports and border-crossings is often so incredibly lax dat almost any response --- however silly or improbable --- will likely be an acceptable alibye for a guard to casually wave you on through.

I try to stay out of dangerous situations, but I always heed my instincts, so I wouldn't want my built-in "fight or flight" tendencies to be dulled at all, so I think I'll pass on getting any menaceillin shots.

A disgustedly-sarcastic reference to a door-to-door salesman who never actually reveals his real name or what outfit he works for because he does not want to be sued for harassment or misrepresentation of his products' quality/effectiveness --- think, the salesman at Dagwood's door who solemnly proclaims, "If I am lying about this product, may lightning stroke me down!", but then shakily confides to the audience in an aside, "Every time I say that, it could be my last."
I am so sick of all these visits from Miss Avonymous --- what recourse do I have if her skin-care products don't turn out to so good as she claims, if she won't give me any info about herself or the company she represents??
