I once shook hands with a pudgy guy who:

Sailed from San Francisco to Hawaii.
Rounded Cape Horn, twice.
Transited the Panama Canal.
Has owned more than 20 boats in his lifetime.
Sailed large boats competitively.
Has been hundreds of miles from land in a powerboat
under his command.

And who set a new record for the most distance covered and fish caught in the Chesapeake Bay in the shortest time!
Was that a hello handshake or a goodbye handshake? I think I know, but I
need confirmation.

Uh, both. It was the handshake that ensured I'd never spend a whole,
long day on a very small 25' boat with the man. (Or even on a 36'
Lobsta boat, for that matter.)

Understood. Nobody straight person wants to receive a limp wristed
handshake.
