When airplanes were first being tried out at carnivals and trade-shows, many people were afraid to ride in them due to a perceived (and often-all-too-true!) "flight-risk".

Get the flight-risk mug.The extremely-limited (and not very good at even those few sectors of knowledge, according to his former boss, Hassan --- "Achmed...! You have worked for us for T'REE YEAHS, and you STILL haven't keeled INFIDEL ONE!") number of "employment-marketable" experiences/capabilities that Achmed originally possessed before he met the Wilson family. After he became acquainted with them and their "totally-peaceable" lifestyle and beliefs, however, the now-cheerfully-toned-down Achmed began learning to "redirect" or "channel" his use-of-explosives expertise to create lovely stone statues that he could then sell to other folks.
I never know when Achmed is gonna decide to hot-headedly make use of his assorted "job-skeels", so I always meekly ask his permission before I say anything to him, so that hopefully he won't feel so much like offing me just because I spoke to him.

Get the herdles mug.A.k.a. "yard sale". Often you can get good bargains on good-quality household items there, but you hafta always watch out for damaged/defective/worn-out items and inflated prices.
Brick-and-mortar shops do indeed usually charge a lot more for stuff than a front-lawn storefront, but yard-sale items usually don't come with a warranty or money-back guarantee, so it's kind of a trade-off..
