With friends like that who needs enemies? What brand hand lotion? If it didn't clearly state on the bottle not for use in internal combustion engines or by people with low IQ and/or no common sense then you should sue the manufacturer for inadequate labeling. I'm sure some lawyer will take the case. Also sue the store that sold you the lotion. You should have been asked what you were going to use it for. Any hippie vegan VW van driving organic store clerk knows better than to put hand lotion in an engine. They should have given you extra virgin olive oil!
