Dude is correct about having to change up hand position when you shake a lot of hands. I’ve read that the queen of England and many others who have to shake for hours just get a totally painful hand, especially from people who want to show what a firm grip they have. Or maybe he’s holding M&M’s in his palm. Or maybe taking the geezer’s pulse; the guy looks way way old.

Jon.. is the Mormon Prez supposed to resemble the “bad guy” from HBO’s Big Love? Their likeness is amazing!

Does he have two fingers stuck up that guy’s shirt sleeve?! I knew he was a big irritating cowboy…but this is like a layer of weirdness sponge-painted on top of that.

cap’n evangelical! I’m laughing so hard. I will now write that across Shrubya’s face, silkscreen the image across many t-shirts, and sell it at hipster craft fairs. Jon, I’ll give you half the proceeds.

LMAO Wow. Personally, I think it just looks like a fumble…hands land in the wrong place and it’s easier to just let it go.

Saw this, this morning, linked from fark.com: The Etymology of Human Male Non-Verbal Communications. Too bad they didn’t include the aforementioned “Secret Handshake”.

As a Mason AND Mormon, i can tell you that we do NOT have THAT handshake in Masonry. And no, I’m not just sayin’!

Bush is not a Mason either, but did become a member of Skull & Bones in 1968 when attending Yale.

To be honest, I’m pissed that Monson meets with ANY political leader in an election year, esp. given the constant, ‘we don’t tell people how to vote’ spiel.

The one thing to notice in the pic is that a certain other aspect of said handshake is missing, as you can see Monson’s other fingers grouped together.

What troubles me more is that head-like tumor growing out of Monson’s neck….eww. i’d get that looked at if that was me.

My question: Are their pinkies interlocked?

If so, I think Bush just got endowed.

Bush: What is wanted?

Monson: Tommy, being good and faithful wishes to speak to the President.

Bush: What is that?

Monson: Crazy Masonic, Mormon handshake.

Bush: Hmmph, Can it haz a name?

Monson: It can haz.

Bush: What is it?

Monson: I’ll tell you through the when the photographers go home.
