The quickest and most universal gesture for telling someone, "you are awesome". Another ridiculous contraption that will hopefully extend an appreciation of the mighty high five. Do you remember any handshakes like that? I'm going to doubt it.Īnd so, I bring you the high five camera. Our hands made contact underneath a bridge and the sound reverberation created the greatest sounding high five I have ever heard.

Studies show that most cancer cases are diagnosed very late leaving very little time for treatment. It was a gesture to celebrate every day of a cancer victim’s life. Some of my best high fives were with strangers. The original reason to have the High Five Day was to raise awareness for cancer. You can give a random high five to a stranger and, more than likely, it will make them feel better. Why not a fist bump, shoulder tap, giving skin, the hungry chicken, or my personal favorite, the high five. Even the handshake has so many different variations, yet we choose the same boring one every time. Why must we limit ourselves to this one boring interaction? Of all the split second human gestures we could do, it's the lamest. It's a gesture with no soul and reeks of a corporate entity. Can I tell you a secret? I don't like handshakes.
