Only Female Mosquitoes Bite, the Male Ones Just Say Hello

a tip of the hat 
a polite nod
a hail caesar
a handshake
a slouch
a tugging of the forelock
a proposing of a toast
a salutation sandwich
a salaam
a bow
a cheek-to-cheek contact
a kiss on the bugle
a kowtow 
a wave
a voicemail
a whatsapp 
a geachte heer followed by a comma
a prayer 

it's all very gracious and well mannered
but for god's sake get the swatter
