Ho hum! What's so great about it? Nothing, as far as I can tell. It may have been great amongst those college basketball players who knew how to do it properly. But amongst seniors in The Villages, high fiving is often whimpy and sometimes clammy. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it "hand touching".

Can we at least have a moratorium on high fiving during the flu season?

You are kidding aren't you?

Please post a picture of yourself so I don't inadvertently high five you the next time I sink a 30 foot chip;. if I ever do it again. Maybe I do it because , as a chaplain I see so much sadness so when I am having fun...I AM HAVING FUN!!!!!!! If I knew what you look like I would try my hardest to avoid snotting on you.
