    For twenty plus years now, when someone sends me a contact to sign as a PDF, if I'm interested, i read it, and considering my signature will be the first if I agree, i consider it a proposal, which I modify accordingly, sign, and send back.

    It's amazing that almost no one takes the time to read those contracts - they just countersign and send me back the copy with their signatures.

    Sometimes, shit hits the fan! And when it does they start with the threatening or intimidating language, saying "you signed the contract", to which i respond, "Yes I did asshole - did you read it?"

    Although since COVID, we kind of can. It's called a #FistBump

    As #PaulMacInnes ( #SportReporter @ #TheGuardian ) put it in April last year

    You kind of had to, and #ItWasFun. It felt more #Egalitarian than shaking hands. #TheObamas launched it in non suspicious times and, long before, #TheQuakers too.
    But now, #Handshakes are #CreepingBack,
    so please be gentle when squeezing hands!
