"I'm a slapper"

Ya know those annoying people who you run into after a while or maybe you're just meeting them for the first time and they want to hug you?
"Oh! I'm a hugger - come here you!"

Why are we subjected to the hugging? Because you announced it?
If that's the case, then "I'm a slapper."

If you feel compelled to hug me cuz that's yo thang, don't be surprised to get my 5 finger hello. Some of us don't particularly enjoy your greasy paws wrapped around our bodies. But what I do enjoy is a good public slapping every once in awhile - especially if someone deserves it.
This summer at my wedding my bridesmaid KTB was meeting my husband's grandmother for the first time. Grandma Dee didn't get up, just said hello to my friend, and probably figured that was the end of it. KTB responded with "I'm a hugger!" Grandma Dee immediately replied, "Well I'm not."
She got hugged - AWkward...
Maybe I can get over my hug phobia and be more like this guy:
Whadya think? Should we let the greasy paws invade our personal space without prior written consent?
