Or if you combine the two you just wind up holding hands for a few seconds. It's like something off of Seinfeld.

George: I held a mans hand today, Jerry.
Jerry: What were you doing that for?
George: I didn't mean to, Jerry! I had this meeting with this guy at work and we went to shake hands and he closed too early.
Jerry [Nodding]: Ahh, the Early-Closer.
George: You gotta let your thumbs lock. There's no shake if you don't lock thumbs!
Jerry: The locked thumb is what makes or breaks shakes.
George: To make it worse, I tried to keep going anyway and started on the down-shake...
Jerry: You gotta start on the down-shake. It's the natural start to any handshake.
George: And he started on the up-shake, and it cancelled eachother out, so we just sorta stood there, holding hands.
Jerry: The Early-Closer-Up-Shaker; the bane of any handshake.

Did you make that up or was that in a real episode? That was gold I tell ya.
