I hope I did this the right way

Talk in a very animated fashion, gesticulating!  Wave your fork wildly and ...

(Ok... I'm not feeling like a very nice person today!)

That's exactly what I thought!

"Oops, so sorry! Did my fork just stab you in the yoohoo! Moderators!  Ban me now!? It won't happen again, will it?"

[Suze]

of course you could have always used the wrong end of the fork, you could still eat with it, and I doubt that he would have noticed the difference.

Back end of a knife works well too. 

I hate buffet places, they always cram twice the amount of people in the place than they should.

When I worked retail it drove me nuts when women would keep their money in their bras and reach into their cleavage in front of me and pull out booby money....ack.....

I worked for the Welfare department (many years ago) and one guy fished into a pocket in his boxers to get me a very tightly folded (and warm!) 'employment search declaration' form. Ugh.

Okay...I've been known to keep money (bills) in my bra on occasion.  Though I don't typically use my bra as a wallet.

But keeping something in one's boxers...and then handing it to someone else?

EEEEEEWWWWW!

Sounds fine to me. It sounds like he knew he was standing too close  and your use of the term bottom made him acknowledge his position and move.

Oh AuntyVenom, you brought back some baaaaaaaaaaad memories.  When I was working in an outback pub, one particular group of women used to do this.  They were....voluptuous.  They did not wear bras, so the money had to be jammed under...  The weather was VERY hot, so there were copious quantities of sweat.  They were not at all particular about personal hygene, so they stank.  And I had to handle paper money that had been kept...

Gross.
