Fistbump: yay or nay ?

I never do the fistbump with anyone. Is it still a thing, or only with people under 40 ? I have no idea.

Remember this faux-stirred-up-controversy about President Obama ?



Oh, I wish that's all we had to worry about Sigh.

especially during flu season, but everyone I know in business still shakes hands. Yuck.

It's tradition whenever we hear about anything bad that happened to the current White House squatters. We've been doing it a lot lately.

Don't do it, never have. Same with high fives.

Some people look right doing it, some look silly... I think I'd be the one looking silly.
