El-Bump Replaces Shaking Hands Due To Swine Flu
Marxist writes "The government of Mexico advises people to avoid shaking hands or kissing as a greeting, so what could the people do instead when meeting a friend? As social distancing becomes the norm due to swine flu, CNN's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, advocates the el-bump, or bumping your elbows, as an alternative greeting that serves people's social needs while keeping them safer from swine flu compared to shaking hands. Probably we can expect more etiquette innovations as the swine flu virus spreads arround."
All the health officials I've heard say cough into your elbow, not your hand if you are without tissue.
Wow, sent an e-mail as suggested when clicking on "use classic" banner, and got a fast response that addressed my msg
For unknown reasons, people are seeing their doctor for ulnar nerve problems in record numbers.
Their wenises are touching!
I propose the bollocks-kick for a form of social greeting. It's the only way to connect with someone and really make sure you don't give them swine flu.

The photo included for this story raises several questions.
1. What gender is the person doing the elbow bump on the right of the photo?
2. Does anyone else think the photo resembles the artwork style of some Magic cards?
I only look human.
My mother is a halfling and my dad is an ogre, so that makes me an Ogreling
