This seems like something that someone would've known about. It's late in the hour in the UK, but citizens of the Mericas should feel free to spread the joy today.

"The high five itself is largely irrelevant, but what it expresses is essential to us all. The five can be of the low variety, it need not be high. It can be a handshake, a wink, a hug, or a fist pound. What is indispensable is the vulnerability that raising one's hand produces, for it may not always be reciprocated. Knowing and even embracing this, let us offer our hands without fear or reservation to friends, enemies, and strangers alike. It is these momentary exchanges of affection, these fleeting moments of pure joy and simple love that bind us all into that beautiful and mystic fabric that is humanity."
