Here's one:
"Never look a gift horse in the mouth."
(Meaning: Back in the old days, a person buying a horse would look in the horse's mouth to check the strength of the horse's teeth. If someone "gives" you a horse, take it and don't look inside it's mouth. Say thank you and walk away with horse in tow. What they don't tell you, though, is what if the horse has mad cow disease or some rare, devastating, contagious condition...if you take the gift horse back to your farm and he infects the rest of your farm stock, you should have checked it's mouth. So check the mouth anyway.)
