I forgot the secret DU handshake.
I was in the parking lot at the grocery store, when I spotted a DU bumper sticker on a VW Jetta. I said to myself "Hey, DU! Wow!" Then the woman who owned the car walked up and open the trunk and put away her groceries. I said "Hey sister! I post on DU too." She looked at me suspiciously and I approached her to give her the "secret DU handshake";-) Right when I was about to clasp her hand I realized, I couldn't remember the "secret handshake" and in a fit of nervousness I flashed her some gang signs that I had learned instead. She looked at me in disgust and said "Nice try, Freep!" got in her car and drove off. I was so embarrassed. She was hot, too. Guess I blew it.

3. Maybe we should all get DU tattoos
I'd feel bad if that happened to me, too! (and the roles were reversed.)

4. I Must Have Been Offline When the Handshake Was Announced
but a girl's got to sleep sometimes. What was it, anyway?

5. I think a lot of us are just tired of being demonized
by the rw media that it puts us on edge. Even if you go with your gut feelings you get taken sometimes. We just have to live our lives the best way we know how.

7. Flashed her some gang signs! WTF!
Last time I heard, a pleasent Hello and a "normal" hand shake usually does the trick.
