There was a house around the corner from my best friend's house that was in pretty bad shape. One day we were walking past that house with our moms, and one mom said to the other "That house looks like it's on its last leg!" I was totally freaked out, picturing the decrepit, hairy, lonely leg under straining to hold up that house!
