15. I err on the side of NOT touching people unless they initiate first.

I am no prude, but a woman has to extend her hand before I shake it, and I have learned from past experience that women are not into the firm grip bs. I never touch anyone unless I am in an athletic event with them, then I may slap someone on a shoulder to congratulate that person for a good play.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
