As James Woods tweeted, the custom of shaking hands is a bit outdated, since we no longer have to worry if the person you are meeting has a broadsword behind their back, perhaps it's time for a custom change Big Grin

It's Chinese? No, thanks.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

I thought the traditional Chinese greeting was to dust each other with lead-infused melamine?

I am scheduled to attend a conference in 2 weeks that draws attendees from all over the world. The meeting has been designated a "no handshake" event. I wish they would just cancel it.

Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists.
Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed.

That's going to lead to a bunch of broken hips, I vote for elbow bumps.

I do fist bumps. Since I do not lick my nuckles, I should be fine.

I always recall John Wayne in I think "Mc Klintock" saying "Ya Ta Hey" to the old Chief.

Or how about the Blackfeet Tribal Hello, OKI?

My Blackfeet buddy gives me the raised right hand and "Oki" when we meet. Though it is a bit of a personal joke between us.
