You call that a handshake??

Pat introduced me to a potential candidate for the SQE position a little while ago. During the introductions he put out his hand for me to shake. It was definitely an experience. First, it was hot and sweaty. I was using all my strength to not immediately pull my hand back. Second, he didn't even clasp his hand around mine. What kind of a shake is that? "Nanoo Nanoo" Mork and Mindy style? I clasped my hand around his and just gave it a little squeeze. What else was I supposed to do. I just looked at him and said "Hi, nice to meet you." Inwardly, I was thinking UGH!
