"Pressing the Flesh" - To shake hands and mingle with many people, especially when campaigning for political office. I press my flesh with your flesh. Clammy hand. Sweaty palm. Limp fish. Let go. Now. And even then, the dead skin cells of my flesh and yours co-mingle… and I take away a very small… …miniscule… …portion of you with me. Even in the most unsatisfactory exchange… …something is exchanged.
