Terry PratchettHandle with care. Probably has Views. Do not attempt to kiss hand.
About This Quote
When a person gives you a gift or a present they usually want you to be happy with what they have bought for you. In the same way, when a person has given you their hand to shake, they usually want it to be a pleasant memory for you. However, sometimes people do not know how to give their hands a rest and will try to make a hand-shake last longer than it should. If the recipient of the handshake is not careful, he may end up getting an uncomfortable feeling in his hand.
The best way to handle this awkward situation is to avoid attempts at making the handshake last longer than it should. When someone wants you to be happy with their gift or present they will not expect you to over-emphasize how much it means to you.
