I'd like to suggest a moratorium on shaking hands until we can all learn to do it correctly.
The handshake is intended as a greeting, not as an opportunity to establish dominance. The two participating hands should join at that webbed area between the thumb and first finger. Each party shall squeeze MODERATELY. Do not, under any circumstances, grab the other participants fingers thus making it impossible for him/her to return the squeeze.
And for God's sake, once the correct grasp is initiated make an attempt to apply a moderate squeeze, don't just let your hand hang there. It feels very creepy to the other participant.
I'm looking at you, woman who came into my office yesterday.
And that guy from last week with the DVD's.

Come now, some handshakes must endure...

And what of shake variations like the finger waggle, one arm hug or wrist grab? Can we agree that these should be reserved for frat bros, wide receivers and X Games competitors?
