Gutfeld on banning the handshake

Former Vice President Joe Biden has only been in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination for a week, but he's having his presence felt across America. It's like he's hugging the nation and breathing on our necks.

Yep, a survey by Totaljobs found that three out of four people want all physical contact banned at work. Coincidence? No. It's now just too hard to figure out what’s appropriate.

And now some companies want to ban handshakes. All in an effort to curb the creeps in our corridors.

So – no more physical contact altogether – abdicating our roles as sensible humans, leaving it all up to the people in HR who can annoy you without even touching you. Which I'm totally, 100 percent behind. Well, make that 99 percent.

The pros: Banning all touching, including handshakes, means one will ever be able to say you "made them feel uncomfortable" – and that's good if someone in management wants to fire you.

Not touching anyone also reduces the spread of viruses – especially when Ed Henry is around.

The cons: We can no longer tell who the weirdo is if the weirdo can’t be weird in public.

Joe wants to go to the "Lick", he would like to lick your cheek or neck. He says he is more in touch with his inter animal, like a Dog.

People have limp handshakes anyway. I'd rather not risk the filth. I don't even handle cash anymore. Not only is it worthless but is might as well be used toilet paper. You can manage your affairs better cashlessly you can track every transaction and paid in full monthly you reap rewards that are better than most interest rates. You just have to know at thing or two about security measures.
I love laughing at pan handlers...." Who carries Cash anymore you dope "

10:20 I would gladly trade you my toilet paper your cash! Also, wow! Dirty handshakes to interest rates!? Also, I carry lots of cash. There is always $50 on me, rolls of quarters in my car, and 2k in a safe at home. What are you going to do when they don't accept your credit card? When all the internet or power fails in your town, and you're left stranded, after a hurricane or blizzard for instance?

Now that makes sense. I like being able to tell who the weirdos are, so I can stay the hell away from them.

Come on! Use your brain. Nothing is open when there's no power after a hurricane or a blizzard. And cash won't work with a pump at a station with no power, and it won't work in a store that is closed. Cash or credit, nothing is available when there is no power. Yeah, I like having cash too, but you sound stupid when you make a comment like that.
