After a "uncomfortable experience" at the end of the Tradewinds event, I feel it is necessary to provide the following Public Service Announcement

Guide to the Man Hug:

Whenever possible avoid the man hug. Here are some alternatives:

1. The old fashioned hand shake. To make the hand shake more emphatic, add shoulder pats.

2. Fist bump.

3. Arm wrestle grip hand shake and shoulder bump.

If a Man Hug is absolutely necessary, please follow these simple guidelines:

1. Alternate arms, one over one under

2. No squeezing, pats on the back only!

3. At all costs, avoid cheek contact

4. HIPS OUT!!!!!!! Absolutely no pelvic contact.

5. Limit Man Hug to 1.5 to 2 seconds. Do not linger!!!

I hope everyone can benefit from this advice. To protect the guilty, the innapropriate Man Hugger will not be outted, but you know who you are!!!!!
