handshakes are overrated

Roooosevelt - Stalin
Nixon - Kruschev & Mao
Raygun - Breshnev
McCain - Viet Nam leader, Quadaffie, Asssaddd
Bush - hold hands with Saudi Prince
Bush(old) - exchange body fluids / puke Japan primeee.
and so on.

Since about 35% of women and 60% of men don't wash their hands after pissing I think it should be offered sparingly, and as Jon Stuart said yesterday, dogs can shake hands.  By the way, those numbers are down the last few years, we are a less hygienic society than in the past.
