A Fair Shake
Dateline: Copenhagen Denmark - the government passed a law that all new citizens must shake hands at the naturalization ceremony. This recalled the time I and my colleagues were entertaining customers at Johnny Lattner's restaurant in Chicago - a large amphitheater type room. A group that called themselves The Turtle Society was having their meeting there and admitting new members. Their motto was that the Turtle was a clean minded amphibian and the first question asked of these applicants was "What does a man do standing up, that a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?" If you didn't answer "Shaking hands" then you wouldn't be swimming with turtles. I must confess that our entire table failed the test. Good luck, Denmark.
