:)) Was your boss trying to tell you something? Like, "Don't even bother asking for anything because you'll only get it when pigs fly."

Yeah. I also remember a flying pig was on the ciling in a common user room at my work place.
I found it at the Universal Studio. It is really attractive but a little noisy.

Nowaday, things that were impossible become possible.

Both liberal women were typing at same time wow :D. Well most of my American friend use these idioms.
when pigs fly :D here is my story.
" I said to Iara (my friend) so what I'm gonna get at my b'day from your side. She replied whateva you want. I said all right then a Greenday T-shirt gonna be good for me. She replied yes when pigs fly :("

she souldna say this :s bad girl.

I think you and I were typing at the same time, so we didn't see each other's posts :)

...a great addition to our growing list, Shez! I have heard / used all of them, except for the last one, recently.

Do you have any stories to go with any of these? (about where you heard them/how they were used?

a few minor corrections:

If worse comes to worse    OR    If worse comes to worst (see this link)

look on the bright side

"my favorite" (not mine favorite)

Where did you hear these? I like to have context when I see new words or idioms.

A couple of corrections:
If worse comes to worst (though I'm not sure if it should be the comparative or the superlative)
last resort
look on the bright side

A little story about "when pigs fly":
I like the music group Pink Floyd. They broke up many, many years ago and swore that they'd never get back together. However, they did get back together a few years ago. At the concert, they had huge pig balloons with wings, because when people say something is impossible, they might say, "We'll get back together when pigs fly!" Since they were back together, pigs must be flying ;)
