Let's replace the handshake with the wave hello.

Shaking hands is such a disgusting habit, you have no idea where the other person's hand has been before it touches you. Every time I go to a convention or other public function that involves shaking a lot of hands, I get a nasty flu/cold virus, and I'm a compulsive hand washer that washes my hands constantly.

I say, as a society, we replace shaking hands with a casual wave hello in the direction of the person we're greeting. The wave hello will also be a time saver as you don't have to wait in line to shake hands when meeting a group of people, everyon just waves at the same time.
