Advice needed - Ran into my MD nude in the gym locker room

So earlier this week I was at the Equinox by the office - I usually try to get in at least twice a week before work. I was walking from my locker to the shower and lo and behold, I turn the corner (without a towel) and almost physically run into my MD (who is also in the scud, so to speak). I was too shocked to speak; as was he, and we scurried past each other without saying a word.

How do I handle this in the office?? Does this put me in a potential position of authority (due to our now-mutual understanding of my larger “presence”)? Can I leverage this to get less /more important assignments or increase my status in his eyes? I was originally hoping he didn’t notice it was me, but his behavior has been off - he now only refers to me as “Hoss” as if we’re in an episode of Friday Night Lights and constantly averts his eyes in team meetings. I’ve also noticed him sitting almost exclusively with his legs crossed when I enter the room. This is definitely a unique opportunity so open to ideas on how to best execute on it.

I’d rather have a small one and be an MD than be an analyst with a monster schlong cause then I’d just become Johnny Sins
