Shake Your Hari Raya Booties

.

Selamat Hari Raya to all.

Hari Raya means food, duit Raya and unfortunately, open houses. Kita ni yang go to orang’s open houses will meet orang yang kita tak kenal. People we do not know. Some, as we will find out later, are people whom we wish we have met before and some will make us wonder. One of the hazards of meeting people is shaking hands with with them, especially those who does not look at you when he or she does it. I hate it when people does that to me. I do not do that to people. Good people do not do that to people. Only jackasses do that. Lina gets pissed off when someone does that to her. Even kera's would look at you when you shake their hands. Try it. Pigs too. Not that I have shook a pig's hoofs but ask someone who has. I’ll bet you a dollar that pigs do look at you in the eye when you shake their hands, I mean hoofs.

And to top it up, most of them who do that are Malays, Orang Melayu. Shoot, even our Indian and Chinese colleagues do not do that. At the rate we are going, we may see that day when our budaya that is well known for being so bersopan santun go to the dogs. Shoot, even the dogs would want to stay away from these people. So, usually on our way out of the open houses or majlis's or do's, we’d give those abominations a miss.

Next time when you shake someone’s hands, see if they’d look at you in the eyes and pay you the proper respect as a human being. It's the least we could do to each other. After all, all of us will be in lowered in graves six feet deep and no rich person, powerful person or influential person will be in a shallower grave. If they do not look at you in the eyes, smack their heads. Tell them I told you to do it.

I need a machine gun.
