Sonja, I think the Vulcans just fondled each other with the "live long and prosper" confingeration.It was Bill & Ted or Doug and Bob or the guys whose names I can't remember - Dana Carvey and Whatsisface (the guy in the "Goldmember" movie) - who did that little "diddlediddlediddle" thing with their fingertips. Doesn't work unless you have electric guitar sound effects.
I have had guys try to crush my hands. If I'm prepared (chronic offender) I crush back. I can surprise hand-squashers unless they're really big guys. If it's too late to go on the offensive, I go limp. It doesn't hurt, and hopefully grosses the squasher out.
You want REALLY weird, shake my hand in the winter. I HATE static shocks and I'll try to discharge the spark before I grab your hand. (Cat-type batting - "touch-touch-ZAP," then handshake.)
