Pull the other one 

A gentle challenge or rejoinder to a fanciful or bullshit statement or a tall tale. An idiom you use to tell someone that you do not believe what they have just said.

Derived from the game where you ask someone to "pull my finger" and fart, then ask them to "pull my other finger" or "now pull the other one".

-- Example 1 --

GUY 1:
"Yeah I drank about 20 beers but the cop couldn't tell I was drunk and let me go."
GUY 2:
"Pull the other one. I don't think so."

-- Example 2 --

From Scene 1 of Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
KING ARTHUR:
Whoa there!
clop clop clop
SOLDIER #1:
Halt! Who goes there?
ARTHUR:
It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!
SOLDIER #1:
Pull the other one!
ARTHUR:
I am,... and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot.
I must speak with your lord and master.
SOLDIER #1:
What? Ridden on a horse?
ARTHUR:
Yes!
SOLDIER #1:
You're using coconuts!
ARTHUR:
What?

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.

In one eye and out the other 

Failure to comprehend what you are reading because you are distracted or not focused.

I don't know why I am even trying to read this book - I can't focus with all this noise. Its just going in one eye and out the other!
