Slip me with the banana peel

When a person tries to trick or fool someone with obvious false information that is immediately proved to be a ruse. This originated from a slippery banana peel unfurled on the ground that is commonly seen in Nintendo’s “Mario Kart”.

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."

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...

"Falling apart and it's hysterical to witness"

one foot on a banana peel and the other one out the door 

To be in a very precarious position, most commonly used when a person is in imminent danger of being fired from their job.
The way John has been fucking up at work lately, I wouldn't be surprised if he has one foot on a banana peel and the other one out the door.
