No Hugs!

What is up with all this handshake huggy stuff all the young guys are doing now? Every time I go to shake somebodies hand who happens to be under thirty they drag me in and give me a hug. Don’t like it. Nothing personal, but I like my space.  My brother, the Iraq war veteran, Correctional Officer all around tough guy and I have been through fistfights, rockfights, a knife fight or two and a couple of gunfights-never hugged. Children have been born, homes bought, parents died, kids graduated, milestone after milestone and we never hugged. The last time we touched anything other than our right hands was our last episode of Kung Fu, Ali-Frasier wrestling when we were twelve and ten. I love the man, and am not afraid to say it, I’d take a bullet for him, but NO HUGS!

From here on, if anybody attempts to hug me during a handshake, I will be forced to assume I’m being brought close for something deadly, a shiv attack or worse, and respond with deadly force of my own. The ancient Babble-on-ians started the handshake as a means of holding their enemies hand to avert an attack. That’s when men were men, no hugging allowed. I like it that way, nice and simple.

If you feel an overwhelming desire to hug while greeting substitutes are acceptable. Wives, girlfriends and hot mothers will do.

  1. Agree completely!!! My dad doesn’t hug me. My father-in-law, of only 2 years, bestows a rather soggy kiss on my right cheek, as well as a hug!! No thanks!

  2. Jean says:

    Even in my female world, I prefer it as a special event detail. It can be overdone.

  3. Chrys says:

    Geesh, Michael. I was going to say it isn’t like they’ve grabbed you and kissed you on both cheeks, ha,ha.

  4. AL says:

  5. Joseph Schmoe says:

  6. Ryan says:

    That’s it. . .you’re getting a hug your first day back at the station. I’m even going to go so far as to talk Capt. into giving you one also.

  7. admin says:

    Haha, thanks for the love; still NO HUGS!

  8. Teri says:

    I am a hug lover… only if I know you!! I used to be put off by people at big shindigs meeting me for the first time and hugging and an air kiss? bleh not for me thanks!

  9. Well if I ever met you…you’ll get a hug and that’s the end of it. A hug for all the encouragment given during this last three ‘fighting’ years. Not sure if I come under the banner of ‘Hot Mother’ but have from time to time been called ‘Yummie Mummie’ by my son’s friends. You must respect your elders too, so it’s a hug you’ll get young man !!!
