I bought some fireworks past their sell-by. Seemed like a bargain, but they'd gone off.
Guy Fawkes did that with a bargain on some old gunpowder. He saw how cheap it was and he lost his head.
... then again, he didn't.
"Fawkes fell from the scaffold where he was to be hanged and broke his neck, thus avoiding the agony of being hanged, drawn and quartered"
