What up with people who shake your hand like their own is some dead fish flapping around? Are you one of those? A firm handshake isn't too much to ask for, is it?

Actually, one day, when I was about 10 or 11, my Dad sat me down and said "Son, it's time you learned how a man shake hands and this is why its important to do it right". He practiced with me, making sure I didn't deadfish or crush, for about half an hour all the while telling me why it was important for a man to have a good, solid handshake. I remember feeling pretty damn grown up. Just one of those small "Dad" things I'm grateful for.

Props to Dads everywhere. gibbsisgod 11-09-2006, 12:47 PM My boss has one of those limp wristed handshakes. The first time I met him I thought of the movie "LIFE" with Eddie Murray and Martin Lawrence. "Your hands nice and soft, supple, like a lady!" Thats why I call him "Jingaling"!

RobH4413 11-09-2006, 01:04 PM This is just a Catholic thing I think... but anyone ever in church during "our father" when you've got to hold hands.... I usually have an obnoxious family member to the right, and then just a random innocent bystander to the left.... The family member will try and be a clown and crush my hand... and I've got to fight back... so I squeeze back, and inadvertantly squeeze the person to my lefts hand.... man thats embarrasing.... plus I'm always afraid I have sweaty hands...

I don't know when that tradition started because I know that wasn't the norm when I was a kid, but either way, it doesn't fly with me.
