motion lotion
i got into the elevator this morning and an older gent was quickly making his way to get there before the doors closed (hay i did my best in frantic pushing of the close doors button) and then we settled into the frightful small conversation thing that some people feel must happen in elevators.
he began cheerfully, 'good morning. how are you?'
i said i was fine. thanks.
and i smiled.
maybe that would suffice. but then, something wonderful happened.
he said: 'i see you have your motion lotion with you'.
i looked over at him and he was looking down at my cup of coffee.
trying not to giggle, i said: "why yes i do. i hope it does the trick this morning".
and suddenly the elevator doors opened and he made a brisk exit.
motion lotion man has left the building.
so sure, i regularly refer to my coffee as, junk starter, crank infusion, brown blood, zombie defuser....but motion lotion. well this opens up a whole new venue of inappropriate nicknames for my life line to morning.
thank you motion lotion man. i bet you have some real good ones for manila folders and staplers.

As he made his brisk exit, he probably thought to himself, "Did I just say motion lotion to this young woman? Idiot!".
It's had to take the small talk to the next level after you've already offered motion lotion to the conversation!
too funny!
I can recall serving up beer to a female friend who I wanted to get friendly with
as I poured her I said... more barrier breakdown
as I poured my own I said... more liquid confidence
not exactly what my mind would conjer up at hearing the expression "motion lotion" but hey, whatever works.... ;)
Nice!
Google tells me motion lotion is slightly more suggestive than might otherwise be implied by the presence of your coffee cup.
...and the rest of your day that day you would think motion lotion and smile...
I am caught up again
