Too funny! I know the doctors in the photo you used. They have both treated me for various ailments! Please tell me you found the pic yourself, because I’m pretty sure they’d be very upset if their picture was used by some company to endorse a product!

They are both excellent doctors, btw. But personally, I think I’ll risk life and limb with a good old fashioned handshake. Unless the shaker or I have just sneezed into said hand…

Then all bets are off, and the elbow will start flappin’.

@Debbie P -

Do you shake your own booty, or theirs?

I watch a morning show where the demonstrated alternate forms of greeting to use during this H1N1 pandemic.

They suggested nodding, like some eastern cultures or touching feet :) Can you imagine the site around boardroom tables if people started shaking feet instead of hands. There would be a pandemic of broken legs as the less coordinated people fell.

That is too funny! I never even mastered the coughing/sneezing into my arm. For one thing, when you weigh 300 pounds your folded arm doesn’t reach up to your mouth to cover it!

Then to suggest shaking elbows kind of defeats the suggestion of sneezing into the elbow!

I love Tiffany’s suggestion of a booty shake!

I’m going with a booty shake. I predict it will sweep the nation.

Didn’t we all just learn to cough and sneeze into our elbow pit? How is this different from covering your mouth with your hand and then offering that hand to strangers?

Never underestimate peoples ability to be goofy.

I don’t get those emails a lot, but I get some and this definitely is the most ridiculous.
