Anyway, it got me thinking, what does that phrase really mean? I understand it on one level but why 'beggars' belief?

Errm now I wonder what brought this on?
Other phrases you could look into
"As thick as two short planks" is quite apt
"If you pay peanuts"
"While the cat is away the mice will play" may fit as well
I liked this one the best
