Handshakes have gotten tricky again. Be careful when you're with another guy who's either younger or cooler than you.

Had lunch today with a guy my age. Parting company, I automatically stuck out my hand in the traditional half-karate chop configuration. He sprang the new-fangled fist-bump on me. At that very moment the Bon Mot Fairy was passing by and touched me with her wand, and I blurted out "you win, rock blunts scissors!".

I swear, if I can remember, next time this happens, I'm gonna extend my hand palm-out, fingers open...paper wraps rock.

Pass it on. Next time some insufferably with-it cool person attempts to blunt your scissors with the rock of hipness, wrap 'im in paper. Maybe we can inject the latest-latest handshake ritual meme into the gestalt.

Or you may just enjoy laughing at me for being once more behind the social curve.

You're welcome.
