June 27, 20197 yr Good evening fellow NOPErs....so happy Multiculturalism Day Canada...but let's go a bit more obscure, our lovely friends in the yank tank give us today "National Hand Shake Day"....that's right boys and girls a day to celebrate the art and traditions of the humble handshake...so as it is a non verbal for of communication we are reasonable sure it existed before most written history...did you know for instance that the ancient Mesopotamian king's would shake the hand of a gold statue upon taking the thrown and annually there after to bring them prosperity and wisdom? What we do know is that its popularity soared as a greeting in the middle ages as a form of greeting so that you could suss out if the person you were meeting had a concealed weapon...because the chances a chick having a weapon were slim (unless you were talking Viking chicks) it did not become a tradition for women to shake. So did you know different countries have different handshaking edicates?...the Aussies, yanks, kiwis, Canadians and Russians expect a firm handshake with eye contact however most Asian cultures expect a soft or limp handshake and unless your in the Philippines no eye contact. So my challenge for today, should you choose to accept it, is to shake hands with one person you normally would offer a handshake too. So for me it's a nope to floppy fish handshakes...and a NOPE putting anything in my mouth and smoking it.
June 27, 20197 yr Lol....only if these guys have washed thier hands first .....otherwise it's a NOPE !!!! From me ..
