As of late, I have encountered a new hug. It is done by two men. They
shake hands, and one or both pulls the other person forward and taps
their
right shoulders together, with a pat on the back with the left hand.

Is this symbolic of anything or any group? I have never seen it before
about three months ago.

One of those transitory, but non secret society handshakes that have
come
and gone?

They're all from France. Or almost any place other than northern Europe
or
the US. We're the most touch-shy people in the world. d8-)

Ed, you ever travel to Japan? :-)

Ah, not for a couple of decades. Yes, I forgot about them. Repulsive
force-fields, I think it is. d8-)



Except on the subway...
