cxorist,
To avoid any unintended negative insinuation I should have said "my brutish
fellow Americans". Some of our guys lift weights like five days a week, and I'm yoga and tofu type. I do have a technique to deal with the real offenders.
Give 'em the limp fish and take the pain. Then they never crush my hand again. Of course handshakes are a social norm I can deal with, I just wish we could all wai each other instead. I once sniffled my way through a SIM with a little scratchy voice. After the debrief when extending my hand to the instructor I was impressed he initiated a street style elbow-bump instead. He admitted he did not want whatever hit me.
