Ms. Sheindlin's arrogantly-imperious behavior and unfair rulings are obnoxious enough just in a regular court-setting, but I pale to think how horridly things would go if she actually handled arbitchration!

A two-faced Fletcher Reede who either secretly "switches sides" --- i.e., he doesn't remain loyal to his client as far as defending or representing him--- or was never really working for him in the first place.
Sometimes it's best to hire legal counsel from outside your immediate area, especially if your case involves politically-inflammatory issues --- there are often too many atturneys around who would not wanna "rock da boat" or offend any of da local judges or other authority-officials by advocating or lobbying for unpopular change.

Disappointed third-grader: Blast it all --- here I thought our vacation in Keebler Pass was gonna be a Wonka's-chocolate-factory type of adventure... a tour of a place where the entire landscape was made from sweet candy and crunchy baked flour! 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.

Da act of "stealing" a person out of da "administering da lovies" clasp of someone else so dat you yourself can hug said embraced person instead.
If you either (1) wait till da "current" hugger has finished embracing your "target" individual, or (2) politely/humbly ask da snuggling couple if you may "have a turn" wif da desired-by-you person, then it's not really "armed robbery", since both members of da couple are voluntarily allowing you "clasping 'n' caressing" privileges. Extra points if you (1) offer to engage in a group-hug wif both of them instead of just giving one of them a "separate" hug, so dat neither person even has to actually let go of da other after all, or (2) be sure to give da OTHER member of da couple a hug, too (maybe even before you embrace your "target" person, so dat said other person knows right off dat he is gonna "get some lovin'" from you, also, and thus he will not hafta worry dat he's gonna feel left out), showing him dat you value his feelings, too, and are grateful to him for letting you have your desired snuggle-wuggle wif his romantic companion.

Some packaged-goods companies who are real penny-pinchers will give you just barely da weight/volume dat they state on the carton, while other firms have a slightly more liberal fillosophy.

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.
