Shaking hands with him, quite frankly, was like shaking hands with a dead fish.

That really creeps me out, whenever someone hands me a "putty hand" I try to crush it.

My dad and grandfather always told me that you could pretty much tell the character of a man by the way he shakes hands......

I agree. I take great stock in it, but it doesn’t paint the whole picture. It is a first encounter thing. I take great pains when I meet someone to look them directly in the eyes, make solid contact as they look back, and shake the hand.

I work in medicine, and am very careful not to crush people (You don’t want to do that to to ANYONE, especially not a surgeon, unless they are trying to crush you)

I calibrate my handshake to the pressure they apply, unless it is a limp fish handshake, which I detest. Especially if it is a cold, damp limp fish handshake.

Again, if they have a good handshake, that still doesn’t mean they are someone you trust outright, but if I get a limp one, I am on my guard outright.

Since I have horrible arthritis, half the men I shake hands with end up causing me severe pain.

And the third of the 3 stooges, Hillary, said to the victim’s father that she was going to arrest the maker of the You Tube video! Boy, that must have put his mind to rest.

By the way, since when is the Secretary of State allowed to arrest anyone?
