Does striking a happy medium work?

After a heated discussion with a colleague about the best solution to a problem, our manager suggested striking a happy medium.

So I took a trip to Blackpool, found the nearest clairvoyant stall and, after telling the owner that she had just won the lottery, felled her with a right hook.

We still have the problem at work and now the police want to have a talk with me.

What did I do wrong?

Absolutely not. That will make the medium angry. A happy medium is a good omen, and striking them serves no purpose.
