Jewish World Review May 28, 2009 / 5 Sivan 5769 Beware: Don't Fall into the Clutches of the Hugger-Mugger By Lewis Grossberger http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | A frightening, front-page New York Times story documents an alarming epidemic of hugging that has struck the students of Pascack Hills High School in Montvale, New Jersey. These poor teenagers are hugging so much, they have no time left for texting or other forms of "intimacy". Coming on the heels of swine flu this is cause for concern, perhaps even panic, which, as you know, our country is frequently on the verge of. Because not only New Jersey teenagers are affected. Sociologists tell us hugging is on the rise in all sectors of the society and is highly contagious. Any one of us could be hugged at any time, and not just by relatives, close friends, and sex workers. In fact, experts warn, you could be the victim of a hugging even if the hugger has no arms. At least, theoretically. Especially dangerous are the following potential huggers: 1. Insurance salesmen. 2. Boa constrictors escaped from local zoo. 3. Your boss. 4. Your boss' very attractive and bored spouse. 5. Vote-seeking politicians. 6. Loan-seeking in-laws. 7. Fawning lackeys and kowtowing lickspittles (the messiest huggers of all.) 8. Nearsighted sumo wrestlers. 9. Sexual perverts disguised as nearsighted sumo wrestlers. 10. Jon and Kate (I'm not sure who they are but apparently you have to mention them a lot now to be considered in the know.) 11. Just about everyone else. How can you defend yourself against an impending hug attack? First, you must be able to recognize the signs. Fortunately, most would-be huggers are obvious. They have a dopey smile on their face (I mean where else would they have it?) and their arms are akimbo. Excuse me but I now have to write akimbo again, because I love the word. Often, they are uttering nauseatingly cloying phrases, such as "C'mere, big guy, and gimme a hug." That's a dead giveaway. But then there is the stealth hugger. Very dangerous, that one. Sneaks up on you, often from behind, and flings the arms (both) around your poignantly vulnerable body before you even know he's there. Only way to spot these offenders: Develop preternatural levels of awareness and the skittish reflexes of a pregnant rabbit. (I think there's a "For Dummies" book you can get on that.) Once you have identified the potential hugger, there are several techniques to employ to thwart his twisted desire. Here are the most effective ones, according to martial arts experts and U.S. Navy Seals. 1. Smile and step forward with open arms, as if inviting the hug, then suddenly shoot a stream of Mace directly into the hugger's eyes. 2. Move to an underpopulated state or country. 3. Fall to the ground and simulate an epileptic fit, frothing at the mouth if necessary. 4. If in a crowded location, shout: "Help, police! I am the victim of a monstrous hugging *&&^%$." This will get quick attention. 5. Avoid bathing or changing clothes for several months. 6. Look out for me. I'm feeling kind of huggy myself. OMG, I've caught it.
