ShitDamn, this scare even caused handshaking at graduation ceremonies to be forbidden.
Horray! I wonder what other disgusting customs we can dispose of. Even without swine flu, I don't like shaking hands with people who might not have washed properly after taking a shit.
I agree with you, but there is a whole wash of dirty people, all sharing their diseases, who have made a big stink about this banning of handshaking.
"It is a tradition! It MUST continue!"
My definition of most traditions:
Fucked up old habits, established in antiquity, which are grossly in need of re-examination.
