Laughing your @ss off, eh? Really, I'm glad you find it so amusing.
Really, we're getting to the point of childishness. Why don't we just all run around pointing and saying "neiner, neiner, neiner, the way my org does thigs is better than the way your org does things"?
As thexgirl said, orgs use their handshakes in different ways. Because one sees theirs as some common everday thing and one sees theirs as only for ritual or special occassions doesn't make one way of using better than the other nor does it make one way laughable.
Seriously, some forms of ignorance are beat down on these boards mercilessly, while other forms manage to pass without a whimper. I just don't get it.
I feel the hate mail coming, but it needed to be said.
