Smooth Move, Ex Lax

Somebody said this the other day. In actual conversation. And he wasn't trying to be funny or ironic or anything like that. Actually, he wanted to cuss another person, but restrained himself. Stuff got spilled while cleaning was going on, and the cleaner shouted: Smooth Move, Ex Lax!

We all laughed afterwards, because none of us had heard anybody say that to anybody in several years.

Little known fact? "Smooth Move, Ex Lax" is the state motto of Delaware. They voted it in in 1999, I believe. It replaced the old motto "We're really just one big bank."

If you look on Delaware's flag (their colors? Red, Green, Brown, Jade and Pine Green), you can see their motto on the left side.

And in the bottom right corner is the place where Chelsea Clinton accidentally used the flag as a napkin, to wipe chili off her face. She also autographed it: Lots of love, Chelsea. Charms me to be here.....
