Playing It Cool

Open source transcript

I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY MY HANDSHAKING PREFERENCES.

FOR GREETING MEN, I PREFER A FIST BUMP OR A HIGH - FIVE.

FOR WOMEN, I USE A STANDARD HANDSHAKE.

UNLESS I FIND THE WOMAN EXTRA ATTRACTIVE, IN WHICH CASE I KEEP MY HANDS BY MY SIDES.

BECAUSE THERE'S A NONZERO CHANCE SHE'S A HUGGER.

I LIKE TO PLAY IT COOL IN CASE SHE MAKES THE FIRST MOVE.

HAS THAT EVER WORKED?

NOT YET.

SO WHY DO YOU DO IT?

WHAT PART OF "PLAYING IT COOL" DO YOU NOT GET?
