A person who shakes with their left hand is not to be trusted


Anyone who shakes with their left hand is left handed...

There is a great story located in the OT about a man who killed a tyrannical king (if I'm remembering right). Because of cultural specifics, the left hand was considered unclean and everything was done with the right hand. Thus, when a man entered the king's court, his left side was searched for weapons. The left handed man's weapon, of course, was on his right side. The court guards missed it when they checked him, and he was a hero.

A bit off topic, but there you have it.









bs aside, I couldn't remember how the story went, but that was the jist of my response.

Oh, but I'm so good at bs, I have a degree in it. Hmmm. Yes, I suppose it all depends on your point of view. To one side he was a cultural hero, but to the other he was an assassin.

But really, I can get a pretty good vibe off a person before I ever shake his or her hand...

... if only that king had been so skilled.
