Is the Handshake Dead?

[MaineYooper]

I can speak. I don't need to touch you to greet you. And given the percentage of people I see who leave the restroom without washing, I'd love to never shake hands again.

While finishing my biz at the urnial, in the public restroom at work, a guy came out of the stall after using it instead of a urinal (hint: not #2!) and started to walk out of the bathroom, then stopped and got a piece of paper towel to touch the door handle! I guess he didn't want to spread his germs...?

Well before too long we will be doing the “swat” greeting as we all enter level 5 of Jumanji:

I prefer the low grunt and slight raise of the chin if within 15 feet or so.

Beyond that distance ...

Re: the bathroom thing. If you’re just going #1 the only thing your touching is much cleaner than any of the exposed parts of your body. Just sayin’

the handshake can die a miserable death. Never saw the point.
And now I don't have to get ticked when people don't stand to shake hands.

So you're one of them.......... I see no excuses for not washing your hands

No I do, but just pointing out your hands are just as dirty walking in as walking out.

I would have to disagree

Explain this then

On 13 July 2005, while a guest on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Johnny Depp stated that a study done on bar peanuts revealed the presence of 27 different types of urine.

I spent the lionshare of my life on the road. Let it be known. I don’t eat buffets.

Perhaps scientifically sound, but I ain’t grabbin’ the fried chicken at the buffet that you pawed searching for the piece of your liking.

Well of course not, because I already got the good one!

[NurseDave]

Hey I wash my hands!!!

Wouldn’t have to if you didn’t throw your own poop.

 

[woodpusher]

It's better than having to throw someone else's!

 

[The Monkey]

Wouldn’t have to if you didn’t throw your own poop.
