Fist Bump your way to a healthier, more professional, and cooler life style

Some say it started with the wonder twins...

Others say the black power movement...

...

Now people (Me) say it’s part of Obama’s Health care approach…

~~

While all theories are appealing…especially the wonder twins, it is time to take this “urban act and recognize it for what it is, an advanced, healthier, and more professional form of greeting your peers/associates/colleagues. Alas with all things black (even though the wonder twins weren’t black..they were aliens…still a minority) their popularity takes time to be accepted by the rest of humanity…..fools when will you all listen, we invented Peanut Butter!! Anyway this is not another post about blackness…this is about the superiority of the Fist Bump and how we need to get with the program and replace the ohh so inferior handshake….

First and foremost the fist bump is healthy. You really don’t use your knuckles for much on a day to day basis. While the handshake involves the meeting of your trusted fingers and palms ….sweaty, greasy, ashy, dirty ..u gotta shake on it,adjust your contacts with it, touch your kids with it and then eat with it. I will let my med school friends explain to you how many ways you can get die by a handshake.

Also there is another absolute fact, in most non western countries “digging for gold”…”discovering the yellow crusty dragon” …”hunting for bogies”…or rather picking your nose, is a widely practiced habit.….again u r forced to shake on it :-/

Never mind that the Director of XYZ program has just picked his nose…flicked the golden nugget…and extended his hand to shake yours in the same 4 seconds. ..you may loose your job by saying “uhhhh u nassssty” …until the fist-bump becomes your ally for a professional way of saying hello.

Finally the fist bump is classsssssy. Or at least what I think is classy. A part of the “yellow fever phase” the west has glorified the Japanese bow looking at it with all its intricacies….social taboos…and psychology of humility.

The fist bump also has its intricacies....

1) The black power fist aka the air fist bump
When you are not close enough or passing too quickly to do a proper fist bump, you just throw up the fist. Especially in the office where people are running off in different directions, the air fist bump signifies a quick “I feel ya man”

2) The fist bump + peace sign
Want to say a quick good bye? Combine the fist bump with a peace out sign, and people know you gots roll.

3) The slow mo fist bump
Havn’t seen your peeps for a min. Slow mo the fist bump…and you know you r gonna have an extended convo.

So mis amigos...plz upgrade your life and fist bump a brother or sister today.
-I am out like this public service announcement *Fist bump + Peace sign*

PS. Did anyone hear that they are going to make a live action film on the wondertwins starring Jessica Alba and Dane Cook. What a lame idea...ughh the wonder twins?!!?!?
