Looked him in the eye, said “I was able to get a sense of his soul.” That was not my eye, said the deeply offended alien KGB agent.

No. We greet people in peace by extending our hand so it's implied. Stating it directly takes away from the punchline by already getting people thinking about "hand".

As a semiprofessional humor artist, I think it's sloppy to do anything to make the punchline less of a surprise.
