You picked the wrong house, fool! 

A popular line from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas said by Big Smoke, during the intro mission of the game. It's the first thing Big Smoke says, too.
Big Smoke: *storms in with a baseball bat* You picked the wrong house, fool!
CJ: 'ey, 'ey 'ey 'ey, Big Smoke, it's me, Carl, chill, chill!

You picked the wrong house, fool! 

"You picked the wrong house, fool!" are the words spoken by Big Smoke as he proceeds to advance on CJ with a baseball bat. When he says this it makes virtually no sense so here's a good dumber-down for you:

The thing you say when a burglar breaks inside your house
Burglar: Breaks in
You: You picked the wrong house, Fool!

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
