I sometimes move in circles where hugging is commonplace.

I sometimes feel I don't move fast enough.

I think I still have an unused disposable suit (intended for crop
spraying purposes) left over from my farming days. But Greenpeace-mode

ripe for prosecution.

I don't know whether hugging is biohazardous bird-flu-wise, but we
should obviously avoid the 'peck-on-the-cheek' style of greeting.
