Statue of Reception

when you're sending a text message and you lose the last bar of service and you raise your arm up like the Statue of Liberty in hopes of catching just enough signal to complete the text transaction.

Doug- DUDE! I'm sexting Jessica and I just lost service!
Tom- Put your arm in the air! Hurry!
Fred- Statue of Reception, nice.
Tom- Works every time..
