One foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel

2 phrases:

"One foot in the grave"- half dead, dying, death is catching up. Tired, old, metaphorical

"Foot on a banana peel"- funny, humorous, cartoon, things are going comically wrong, events are not working in one's favor. *Picture* stepping on a rake and being hit in the face with the handle. Knee slap comedy

One foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel expression-

damned if you do, damned if you don't...

Guy 1: "how are you doing?"
Guy 2: *expression meaning* on one side (one foot) I've really gone to hell, or im working on getting there- and on the other side (other foot) it's pretty stupid, but entertaining to watch, the bullshit that's been happening to me or that I've been outing putting myself through...

I got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel.

Something that a NY Mobster might tell a reporter when he knows that his time is limited. He's done some really outrageous shit to other gangsters, and as a result, he is a dead man. Like a moth caught on a hot light, he knows it's wrong, but the danger gives him such a charge that he really has ceased to care. A guy in this position would say this and really mean it.

"I got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel." "We live this way, but we don't care."

Robbed the Grave

"cheating death" by not actually dying when one should.

he laid in his hospital bed half dead, all the doctors said that he wouldn't make it, but by believing in desire backed by absolute faith, it has robbed the grave of being a victim of death.
