I don't know where you live, but in NYC when I worked in an office, you could chart the spread of the flu because it went from cubicle to cubicle, felling coworkers mercilessly in a domino effect. If someone used your phone with their gnarly hands, you could be toast. <br />Don't get me started on hospitals. I may choose to die in the wilderness. <br />I think handshakes are overrated. Bowing and pressing your palms together is so much nicer. Still, as I am a civilized and well brought up person, I will shake hands and give unnecessary social kisses to people I barely know but like Bartleby, I'd prefer not to. Plus, I'd rather do this than stop eating pork, which is what two older Black ladies were screaming at the screen at the end of the show of Contagion I saw.Grande Enchiladahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469834745007793943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976835198312778290.post-2999897756736501422011-09-20T14:19:56.552-04:002011-09-20T14:19:56.552-04:00wait wait wait -- do we really buy into the parano...wait wait wait -- do we really buy into the paranoiac disaster scenario where handshakes are dangerous and follow it in OUR EVERYDAY LIVES? I thought you were joking in the first paragraph but then you actually mean it? Most of the actually dangerous infections are contracted on operating tables not by shaking people's hands. A great paranoia-fest, but do you want to take it seriously? And next time the vampire movies, too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
