I don't care Wai

Tonight, while playing pool at a bar, a girl wai'ed me.  Now before you think about this too much, let me explain what a wai is.  A wai is a polite way of greeting and ackowledging someone, which consists of putting your palms together, your thumbs at your chin and then bowing your head a little bit.  The correct response is to wai back.  So I did it, and I did it holding my pool stick between my palms (maybe not proper, but I usually don't set things down to wai).  The problem is that I was standing under a ceiling fan.  So faster than I could respond, I raised the pool stick into the fan which knocked it back into my face, which just about knocked me out.  Have I learned a lesson?  Probably not.
