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.

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...

Peeling the Label

Usually viewed as an indication of Sexual Frustration. Affected persons will be seen trying to remove the label from a beer, pop, or juice bottle. Some will play it off as simply boredom, or high anxiety. In some cases, may be remedied by removing said label and presenting it to a person of your choosing, if they accept your label then you could be getting some.

Well she was fighting them off

At a corner table

She had a longneck bottle

She was peeling the label

The look on her face

It was perfectly clear

She said somebody please

Get me out of here

The look she shot me

Through the glass refraction

Said a little less talk

And a lot more action

- Toby Keith in "a little less talk and a lot more action"
