Phrase of the Day (POD) for 1 September

Phrase of the Day (POD) for 1 September
 
Hi All!
 
Thanks to Maryse for choosing my Granny story as the winner for yesterday �s POD.
 
I find it fun to write little and to read all the inputs--give it a try, you may be surprised.
 
So for today, the next phrase looking for your funny, creative, goofy, definiton or story is:
 
         "Damn straight! I made it by the skin of my teeth."
 
Cheers,
Douglas

 Hi Douglas,
 
Let me explain.
 
Here in France we cannot explain the things in a simple way, no we drive our thoughts along many many curves. And our boxers protect their teeth with leather when they are fighting so they cannot brush their teeth before taking off their dental protection.
 
Someone who tells this is very proud because he has managed to say a whole book in only a very few words... 1 or 2, 3 maximum sentences for a 300 (or more) pages book !!!
 
What an exploit ! �Damn straight ! I made it by the skin of my teeth ! �
