CLEVELAND -- Busted!

A charter-school principal in Cleveland has resigned, after failing to recognize a secret handshake.

*snip*

Thomas denied that. He said he resigned for personal reasons.

They aren't that easy to learn or remember. I only remember my fraternity handshake because I taught it to the new initiates.

I'd be hosed....I can barely remember if I'm right or left-handed.

Having said that, this guy's a doofus for pretending to be something he's not.

Although the guy shouldn't get away with lying on his resume', I find it disturbing that fraternity members would be checking up and trying to connect with other members out in the business/working world. Discrimination based on 'club' membership is wrong wrong wrong.

Let's see... Is it "squeeze, squeeze, poke", or "squeeze, poke, poke"?

maybe....but I can see it. He was probably being suspected of being a liar and this was just a simple way of outing him.

It may be wrong, but it happens all the time. I worked for a place where the accountant got the job primarily because of his fraternity membership. Granted, having an unqualified account tended to not work out so well for the longevity of the company, but it still happened.

It's a good way to catch liars. He probably checked the rolls and didn't find the guy so he decided to slip the grip on him.

I was in a concession stand selling beer at a PGA tournament with my roomie (who was wearing a KA jersey) and some old guy dropped the KA challenge on him.

Either one will get you a harrassment lawsuit!
