Article for Debate: Dude Hugs
Items in Red are in contention, and require discussion and approval.
We, the Men, do hereby declare that under no circumstance shall two adult Men who are not parent parent and child or sibling in relation to each other shall engage in a full contact Hug, Bear, Hug, Handholding, Cuddle, Clinch, or Similar. If such an interaction becomes unavoidable or should a Man stumble into such an interaction inadvertently, the joint purchase and consumption of an alcoholic beverage should suffice in “clearing the air.”
Acceptable Alternate Displays of Affection:
in order from least embarassing to most embarrassing
- Buy Him a Beer
- A Good Sock in the Arm
- The Standard Handshake
- The Roman Handshake - Favored by Eurotrash
- The Deluxe Handshake plus Elbow cup - Favored by Politicians
- The Superdeluxe Handshake plus Double Back-Pound - For extreme cases only, may require a beer chaser
