lol.

My brother, an executive, likes to do the high five when people aren't expecting it, so that when they don't raise their hand, he breaks out in a embarrassed laugh and does his best to look like a loser.

He overdoes it to such a degree that he actually gets delayed laughs.

I could never pull it off. I'd look like the guy in your story.
