Gimme Five


Today is National High Five Day. Go ahead, high fives all around. Yeah, get some! While it seems like a natural form of expression, the high five isn't instinctual. Like yoga, jumping jacks, and jazz hands, the high five at some point had to be invented. I bet you didn't know that the inventor happened to be a gay, black, professional baseball player? Read about Glenn Burke here. Know your history.

Sadly...I was too slow on the down low. Maybe next year.

Man, that's a sad story. I don't want to high five anyone after that.
