Embarrassing Moments in CapSwell's Life

I was on the Speaker of the House's Balcony this afternoon.  Amazing view.

I had just left the balcony when the Speaker walked by.  She started to shake hands with the group in front of me.  She's an important person and I don't want to slow her down with a hand shake.  I made eye contact and nodded and was about to walk by, as her hand shot out, i almost didn't see it.

By this time she was just past me and her shaking hand was retracted but i was like the Speaker wants to shake my hand so I stuck my hand out and she would have had to twist back around to shake my hand.  But it didn't look like she was going to turn around so i was pulling back my hand as she twisted around to shake my hand.  But my hand was pulling back and she was reasserting her hand...she started to look annoyed so I put my hand back out and we connected.

So frakking smooth.
