Hand Shakes

The grip of steel was 20 years ago before i retired.

I am wore out before my time. I am a year away from 60 but I am tired, my elbow, knees, and hips are shot and the VA tells me I am only at 10% disability.
 
On the contrary, shaking hands is a custom that should have died a century ago. I have always hated it; when you're in a group, shaking all these people's sweaty hands is disgusting and a mass-transit system for germs. I run across people who offer to shake while I'm eating, for heaven's sake.

Hoping that this is the one beneficial effect of Covid-19: to kill this practice for all time.

So I guess kissing is out.
 
My friends and I shake hands.
If we’re told we can’t, I suppose we’ll be lined
up in front of the trench. So be it.
 
My Dad used to say that a limp handshake was the worst insult you could give a man.
