If you don't want to shake hands, just lift you right hand empty as a greeting. That shows you have no weapon. Yes, and in cubs and boy scouts we were taught to shake with the left hand. Because the left hand was what most warriors used to hold their shield, this signified that I trusted you! I do remember a few things from more than six decades ago,... a few.  Ted

But in the BTP era, you shook with your right hand, because you used your left to wipe your ass.....

We pray our sights be straight
and our aim be true
We pray for no pain
to the game we pursue
We thank you Lord
for this land
We thank you for the sights
from our stands
We pray for safety, one and all
We pray we may return next fall

Ted ;)It's about that long ago for me as well. And, in trying to 'jump start' some of the gray cells, I seem to recall the left hand shake in Cubs & Scouts, also had something to do with being able to solute at the same time, with your right hand. Hope you & Marg are staying safe and keeping healthy. - Johnn

So let me get this right... we are all being taught to sneeze into our elbows, and now we are supposed to bump with those same elbows?
How about, there is just no need to touch me, anywhere, for any reason.

Since `979 the only salute I've given was the occasional one finger type. Be a man. If the occasional handshake was fatal we would have all died long ago - or is this the first infectious virus in the history of the world. Yep. My friends shake. Others (such as in business) get “I’d shake your hand but...” fading off into whatever the hearer would like whether “...that could endanger the future of the human race!” Or “...big brother says we shouldn’t...”
